Eligible electors of a township wishing to change its name may petition the board of supervisors and, if it appears to the board that a majority of the eligible electors of the township are in favor of the change, the board shall cause notices, attested by the auditor, to be posted in three of the most public places of the township, for at least thirty days before the next regular session of the board. The notice shall state that a petition has been presented to the board by the eligible electors of the township, seeking a change of the name of the township and shall state the name sought in the petition, and that, unless those interested in the change of name appear at the next regular session of the board and show cause why the name shall not be changed, there will be an order made granting the change.
