Each candidate in a contested race has been invited to speak for a few minutes, and then the mayoral candidates will answer a few questions from the moderator. East End Improvement Association spokesman Steve Schwartz tells The Big Z both forums will be held in a virtual format:

ALTON The East End Improvement Association is sponsoring candidate forums for Alton on March 16 and Godfrey on March 18.
Due to the pandemic, both forums will be closed to the public and be held in a virtual format.
“We are excited to be sponsoring these events, as we believe it is an important venue where the residents of both communities can be introduced to the candidates,” said Steve Schwartz of the East End Improvement Association.
In Godfrey, all candidates have been invited to attend. In Alton, due to time limits and the number of candidates, only contested positions have been invited to attend.
