Prior to any vote at any meeting of the Town
Meeting, and at any other time when the Town Meeting Moderator deems
it desirable, the Town Meeting Moderator shall make a brief statement
to the Town Meeting concerning the statutes prescribing penalties
for voting at the Town Meeting by persons who are not legally qualified
to vote, and unless the Town Meeting Moderator deems it unnecessary
to do so at any particular meeting, the Town Meeting Moderator shall
cause to be identified any persons present at the Town Meeting who
are not legally qualified to vote, by requesting them to stand briefly,
or by some other means deemed appropriate by the Town Meeting Moderator. Failure to observe this procedure shall not affect the
validity of any action taken at any meeting of the Town Meeting.
At any meeting of the Town Meeting the parliamentary
practices recommended in the latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order
shall be deemed to be standard parliamentary practice, insofar as
they are lawful and applicable, except as such parliamentary practice
may from time to time be amended by rules adopted by the Town Meeting.
