It could very well be that the blank form (containing the election) would be e-filed along with rest of the forms.
However, given the importance of this particular election, I, personally, would not want to leave it to chance that the form was, in fact, transmitted in my tax package. Rather, I would feel much more comfortable knowing I had printed out the election form, inserted it in the proper order with my other forms, and mailed the package to the IRS.
