certificate shall state that the voter is mentally competent to vote in
municipal elections, and that because of the illness or injury which con-

from voting personally at the election. The certificate shall be received
and filed, together with the application, in the office of the Supervisor of
Elections not later than 10 days prior to the election. Thereafter, the
Supervisor of Elections shall mail to the voter entitled thereto an absentee
ballot. All forms used for absentee voting shall be as prescribed by the

determination shall be final as to form. The Supervisor of Elections may
also prescribe the determination of the absentee voter's application and
the procedure for canvassing of ballots.
