He shall then securely seal the deposition, together with any papers produced by the witness and the notice of deposition or stipulation, if the deposition was taken without notice, in an envelope endorsed with the title of the contested election case and marked “Deposition of (here insert name of witness)” and shall within thirty days after completion of the witness’ testimony, file it with the Clerk. After filing the deposition, the officer shall promptly notify the parties of its filing.
