CONWAY — Four of five Conway selectmen have signed a citizens’ petition to place a special article on the ballot in April that if approved by voters would create a charter commission, whose purpose will be to examine and make recommendations to improve the structure of town government.

A charter commission was last convened in 1990 and the result was voters increased the number of selectmen from three to five.
