[Amended 4-26-2021 ATM by Art. 29, AG 12-2-2021, eff. 12-30-2021]
Notice of every Annual Town Meeting, Special Town Meeting and
Town Election shall be given by publishing an attested copy of the
warrant calling for a meeting or election in the Middleborough Gazette
or some other newspaper in general circulation in the Town of Middleborough,
such publication to be at least seven days before the time for an
Annual Town Meeting and Town Election and at least 14 days before
the time for a Special Town Meeting.
The Town shall use a checklist at the door of all deliberative
sessions of Town Meetings so that none but registered voters may be
admitted to that part of the hall used for voters. The Moderator shall
designate an area in the hall for the seating of nonvoters, if, in
his judgement, space permits. Checkers shall be appointed by the Board
of Selectmen. Nothing in this section shall prevent the admission
of consultants and advisors to the Selectmen, department heads and
elected and appointed officials.
The articles for any Town Meeting shall be considered in the
order that they appear in the warrant for such meeting, unless otherwise
ordered by vote of the meeting.
