You're obviously free to ask candidates anything you want. We just do the “edit the questions” thing to make things cleaner & easier. We used to have people asking 3 variants of the same question, or poorly worded questions, etc. This just makes it easier.

For OSMFoundation elections, we ask members to submit questions to the candidates to be edited & collected together. This answers, along with their manifestos are then all published together.
