He noted that while one section of the Charter refers to “registered voters,” the section outlining the number of petition signatures required does not include that same reference, making the Charter language appear inconclusive. Denise Quist, Town Clerk states this is why there is a “definition page” for discrepancies as this that might appear in the charter.
