Within ten days after such affirmative vote has been passed by any town, its selectmen shall appoint six electors and taxpayers of such town as members of such board, each of whom shall serve from the date of his appointment to the date of the election and qualification of his successor in accordance with the provisions of section 9-202. All rights and powers conferred and duties and obligations imposed by the general statutes upon boards of finance shall be held to be conferred or imposed upon each board of finance as soon as it is established under the provisions of this chapter. No town shall vote to abolish a board of finance until after the expiration of two years from the date of its establishment.
