Hustings - voters & candidates Hustings are events that put the candidates up in front of the people whose votes they are seeking, in a public setting. They give a chance for voters to see how the candidates answer unexpected questions, and how they relate to the each other and the voters themselves. They are often seen as a chance to put candidates 'on the spot' and get an insight into their characters, beyond the glossy election leaflets. | As the election fever heats up and we get closer to the General Election on May 7 you might have a question for representatives of the parties seeking your vote. This is your chance to put your questions to them and listen to their responses.
