# Topic: Key Issues for Nominees to Share "Views" and "Pledges" on.

**Description:** 
For nominations coming up on July 20th, each Nominee will have to explain their stance on three key issues that the NDC community finds to be the most important. Nominees may also choose an additional issue to share a stance on.

The hope is that by the community choosing their three most important key issues, and ensuring all Nominees have shared their opinions on these issues, voters will be able to more efficiently  assess the viability of various Nominees to bring about the will of the NDC community.
