The live political debate 'West Tyrone Decides' will return to West Tyrone this evening.
All seven of the candidates running in the upcoming Westminster election (8th June) will sit in front of a studio audience.
The event is organised by the Ulster Herald in association with Omagh community organisation FOCUS.
It's expected to draw in a large audience, following the turnout back in 2015.
Around 300 people attended the event, with hundreds more watching the debate live from home.
This year, the constituency will have a new MP for the first time in 16 years after Pat Doherty stepped down earlier this month.
The live debate gives local people the chance to get engage in the debate and submit questions to the candidates.
The event starts at 7.15pm in the Strule Arts Centre, Omagh
