Denver CFR Line-By-Line

Applies To: Colorado

This
is an eFiling-only report for only Expenditures and Contributions for
Ballot Measures to be used with the SearchLight portal.

To file your report, you must generate and download your efile to upload to your filing account.

Applies To:

All Monetary and Inkind Contributions and Expenditures

NOTES:

  • Denver efiling does not support the concept of splits
    or memos. Typically states want to see where the money originated/ended
    up, so we itemize splits as cash-impact transactions, and do not itemize
    the whole/parent transaction.
  • Denver efiling does not support the
    concept of negative transactions, so they are listed as positive
    receipts on the opposite schedule. (ie: reversed receipts as positive
    expenses; reversed expenses as positive receipts)
