101.64  Delivery of absentee ballots; envelopes; form.--

(1)  The supervisor shall enclose with each absentee ballot two envelopes: a secrecy envelope, into which the absent elector shall enclose his or her marked ballot; and a mailing envelope, into which the absent elector shall then place the secrecy envelope, which shall be addressed to the supervisor and also bear on the back side a certificate in substantially the following form:

I,  (print name) , do solemnly swear or affirm that I am a qualified elector in this election, that I am unable to attend the polls on election day, and that I have not and will not vote more than one ballot in this election. I understand that failure to sign this certificate and have my signature witnessed will invalidate my ballot.

 (Voter's Signature) 

I swear or affirm that the elector signed this Voter's Certificate in my presence.

 (City/State) 

(2)  The certificate shall be arranged on the back of the mailing envelope so that the lines for the signatures of the absent elector and the attesting witness are across the seal of the envelope; however, no statement shall appear on the envelope which indicates that a signature of the voter or witness must cross the seal of the envelope. The absent elector and the attesting witness shall execute the certificate on the envelope.
