IIRC last year most or all of the campaign questions that were submitted by FT members and/or TB candidates were used by the Community Director and became threads in the 2012 Elections forum.

If someone wants candidates to state and explain their views, even on past votes, one should formulate a question to submit about the issue. The procedure to do this will be announced when the election is announced by the Community Director. Most candidates participate in most of the resulting election threads, but some have found the lack of back and forth comments and the fact that there no possibility of asking follow-up questions to hamper active debate on certain issues. OTOH, some candidates obviously spend a considerable amount of time answering the questions very thoughtfully, even if it sometimes seems like the candidates mostly agree with each other.
