We used to have a solution to this problem in the election process ones and I don't know why this isn't pursued any more. The list of candidates was presented to the members along with their statements one or two weeks prior to the election. Then a Q/A period started when members had the opportunity to ask questions on the members list and candidates had the opportunity to voice their views. This way when people felt there was a need to get more information it was possible to deal with this prior to the election - not during the election period in which no campeigning should actually happen any more.
