All such applications shall be examined by the town clerk and, after such examination, he shall decide upon the right of the applicant to be admitted as an elector. If the town clerk decides that such applicant possesses all the qualifications required by law of applicants for admission as electors, he shall so certify, in writing, upon the form submitted by such applicant, who shall thereupon be an elector and shall be so advised in writing by the clerk. Said clerk shall forthwith notify, by mail, any person whose application to be admitted as an elector under the provisions of sections 9-26 to 9-29, inclusive, is denied, with his reasons therefor. The applicant may appeal the rejection of his application under section 9-31l.
