The petition for dissolution shall be dismissed if at any time during the dissolution proceedings, including an appeal, the county executive or a court hearing an appeal is presented with a verified remonstrance against dissolution, signed by at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the town’s voters registered at the last general election. The executive or court may determine the validity of the remonstrance by submitting it to the clerk of the circuit court for the county where the voter resides for verification.
