Notwithstanding the first paragraph, where several days have been fixed and where the number of applications needed to require that a referendum poll be held is reached before the last day, the clerk or the secretary-treasurer shall close the register at 7 p.m. on the day the number is reached if the council of the municipality passed a by-law to that effect before the first day the register is open for registration.
