The Candidate Guidelines have been prepared to assist individuals who are interested in becoming a Council Candidate. The Guidelines also include Election Information Booklets and Campaign Reporting Forms. Please fill out the receipt, which is listed first so the City Clerk's office may inform you of any pertinent information regarding the election. If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Vincent, Thornton City Clerk, at 303-538-7223.

Campaign Reporting Forms

The Campaign Reporting Forms are available to fill-and-print using the Excel format for the Report of Contributions and Expenditures form or Adobe PDF format for the other forms.

• The Excel version of the Report of Contributions and Expenditures form contains formulas that will calculate and carry-over totals from the itemized pages to the appropriate line on either the first or the second page of the form, then you can print the form. Cells that will be filled in automatically or perform a calculation have a blue background.  Cells have been formatted for entry of dates and dollar amounts. Tab or use the arrow key to move from one cell to another. The Excel document may be saved with your information if you “Save As” to a different folder on your computer.
• The other forms listed below are in Adobe PDF format. These fill-and-print forms allow you to enter information while the form is in Adobe Reader and then print the completed form.  Tab or use your cursor to move from one line to another.  If you have Adobe Acrobat the Adobe document maybe saved if you “Save As” to a different folder on your computer. If you only have Adobe Acrobat Reader the information can not be saved.
