  close of local registration, each board of inspectors shall mail, or, if
  the board of elections directs, shall deliver to the board of  elections
  a  certificate,  signed  by the members of such board, stating the name,
  present residence address of each registrant and such other  information
  as  the  board  of elections shall require and a certificate stating the
  name and address of each person whom the board refused to  register  for
  any  reason  other  than  that  he  was already registered, and, in each
  instance, the reason for such refusal. The names and addresses shall  be
  entered  on  such  certificates  during  the  day of registration as the
  voters concerned are registered or refused registration.

  inspectors  shall  sign  a  certificate  containing  a tabulation of the
  following information:

  registration;

b.  The  total  number  of  voters  registered  during  such period of
  registration;

c. Such other information as shall be deemed appropriate by the county
  board of elections and the state board of elections.

Such certificate  shall  be  mailed  or  delivered  to  the  board  of
  elections  as  it  may direct, by the board taking registrations. In any
  city having therein an office of the board of elections,  the  board  of
  elections  may  direct  that  such certificate shall be delivered to the
  police at the place of registration or the nearest police  stationhouse.
  In such event, the police shall forthwith deliver the certificate to the
  board of elections at its nearest office.

3.  The  state  board  of  elections  shall  prescribe the form of the
  certificates required by this section.
