The Telegraph is partnering with the Personal Democracy Forum and a host of other newspapers to invite readers to submit questions online to political candidates in select national and state races.

The project, known at 10 Questions, is an expansion of an effort launched in 2007 in which citizens were invited to ask questions of the presidential candidates. Then, as now, the idea was that journalists should not be the only people posing questions to candidates, and candidates should have time to answer questions fully and thoughtfully, which is not always possible in staged debates and forums.

Voters interested in the Georgia races can ask questions of the gubernatorial candidates and of U.S. House candidates in Districts 8 and 12.

Citizens can also vote on the top questions. The deadline for submitting and voting on questions is Sept. 20.
