Town of Norwood

With certain exceptions no action taken by the town meeting is operative until the expiration of seven days, exclusive of Sundays and holidays, from the date of the such vote. During this interval a petition may be addressed to the Selectmen asking that the question or questions be submitted for decision to the town at large.

Signatures of 5 percent of the registered voters are required for a referendum petition. The Selectmen, after the explanation of five days, shall establish a date and a place for the voting to take place. The same proportion of voters is required as was necessary at the town meeting.
