Electors must sign six certificates listing their votes. Each certificate lists President votes and Vice President votes separately. Electors must attach a certificate proving they were properly appointed.

The electors must make and sign six certificates recording all the votes they cast. Each certificate must contain two separate lists: one showing the votes for President, and one showing the votes for Vice President. To each of these six certificates, the electors must attach a certificate of ascertainment. That document proves the electors were properly appointed, and the state's executive is the one who provides it to them.
