N.D. Cent. Code § 58-04-19
If a township meeting is not held for the purpose of organizing and electing its officers at the time fixed by law for holding the annual township meeting, a special township meeting for that purpose must be called by the township clerk. Such meeting must be held within the township or in an adjacent township. If notice of such meeting is not given by the clerk within ten days, any three electors of the township may call such meeting. Notices setting forth the time, place, and object of the meeting must be published at least five days prior to the meeting in a legal newspaper published in the township or, if there is no such newspaper, then in the county's official newspaper. The electors, when assembled by virtue of such notice, shall possess all the powers conferred upon electors at the regular annual township meeting.
