Each town meeting must be called by a warrant. The warrant must be signed by a majority of the members of the select board, except as follows. [PL 2021, c. 275, §22 (AMD).]
1. First town meeting. The first town meeting must be called in the manner provided in the act of incorporation.
2. Majority of members of select board. If, for any reason, a majority of the members of the select board do not remain in office, a majority of those remaining may call a town meeting.
3. Petition of 3 voters, if no select board. When a town, once organized, is without a select board, a notary public may call a meeting on the written petition of any 3 voters.
4. Petition by voters, if select board refuses. If the select board unreasonably refuses to call a town meeting, a notary public may call the meeting on the written petition of a number of voters equal to at least 10% of the number of votes cast in the town at the last gubernatorial election, but in no case less than 10.
