to use this form. This form must be filed with the Designated Election official (DEO) of the District not less then 67
days prior to the regular election. While the deadline for filing is 67 days before the election (close of business), the
deadline by which any insufficiency must be cured is 3:00 p.m. on the deadline date (1-4-912 CRS). To ensure time
to amend the form if it is not sufficient, it is strongly recommended that prospective candidates submit their
Self-Nomination form earlier than the deadline. The DEO may offer the candidate some proof of filing the form,
perhaps with a photocopy fo the submitted form. The DEO must verify the elector's eligibility )4-4-908. 1-1-104(35),

requirements, the DEO must file copies of the Self Nomination forms or a list of the names of all valid candidates
witht he Secretary of State no later then 60 days before the election (SOS CPF Rule 8). The forms are public records
