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.  
[PL 2021, c. 275, §22 (AMD).]
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.  
[PL 2021, c. 275, §22 (AMD).]
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.  
[PL 2021, c. 275, §22 (AMD).]
