20    Section for the sending of the notice. A certificate executed
21    by  the  Secretary of State or county clerk attesting that he
22    has  mailed  the  notice  constitutes  prima  facie  evidence
23    thereof.

32    statements.  Within  30  days after the due dates, the county
33    clerk shall mail to the State Board of Elections a true  copy
34    of that listing showing those who have filed statements.

33    original of the identification form filled out by the  person
34    examining his statement.
