Candidate Forums

Recorded and livestreamed candidate forums for the 2026 Navajo Nation election — so voters can compare candidates side by side.


📣 Call for forum links

Have a forum recording to share? The Diné Civic Center is gathering links to recorded 2026 candidate forums — presidential and council delegate — to help voters compare candidates in one place. If you have a link to a livestreamed or recorded forum, please send it to dineelectioninfo@gmail.com or message us on Politics on the Navajo Nation, with the date, host, and the office or district it covered, if known. All candidates and all districts are welcome.

About this page

Candidate forums bring several candidates together to answer the same questions before an audience. Unlike the one-on-one interviews on the Interviews & Events page, forums let you compare candidates side by side. This page links to recorded and livestreamed forums from the 2026 Navajo Nation election as we find them — and as the community sends them in.

Forums differ in format, host, and which candidates attended. Where a candidate did not take part, that is a reflection of the forum, not the candidate. Links open the original recordings on the hosts' pages; the Diné Civic Center does not host or alter them.

Upcoming forums

Scheduled forums you can watch or attend live. Details come from the hosts — check their pages to confirm the date and time.

Recorded forums — Council delegate

Delegate forums are usually organized locally — by chapters and districts — so their recordings are spread across many community Facebook pages rather than one place. We are collecting them district by district.

If your chapter or district held a delegate forum that was recorded, please send the link. Include the district or chapters it covered so we can group it with the right seat. Send to dineelectioninfo@gmail.com or message us on Politics on the Navajo Nation.

Submit a forum link

Send recorded or livestreamed forum links to the Diné Civic Center. Please include the video link, the date, the host or location, and the office or district covered. All candidates, all districts, and all hosts are welcome.
