(c) The secretary of state shall have the official application forms for registration by mail printed and shall furnish the forms without charge to each registrar in a quantity the secretary determines sufficient for the proper conduct of voter registration.

(d) The secretary of state shall prescribe the procedures necessary to implement this section.
