Verona voters went to the polls in greater numbers on Tuesday, sending incumbent Jack McEvoy back to the Town Council for a second term and electing newcomers Dr. Christopher Tamburro and Cynthia Holland.
According to the unofficial vote count, 2,508 of Verona’s 11,731 registered voters cast a ballot, a 21.4% turnout overall. The count in any election is unofficial until certified by the Essex County Clerk. Only 19.9% of Verona’s registered voters voted in the last Council election in 2019. In 2017, some 24.5% of registered voters cast ballots in that year’s Council election. The turnout this year was highest in District #6, which votes at Forest Avenue School, and lowest at District #9, which votes at Verona High School. Between 2% and 5% of voters in each district opted to vote by mail.

Teamwork and commitment led to winning a national financial literacy contest â the first ever for a team supported by 100 Black Men of Madison.
The feat was especially impressive given the decision to enter the national 2020 Virtual Dollars and $ense Youth Investment Competition later than normal because of another academic commitment, team member Angela Abongwa said. It gave the group about two weeks to come up with a presentation when they hadnât learned the material yet.
âTo me the most difficult part was definitely the time crunch of it,â said Abongwa, a senior at Verona High School. âIt was just trial and error.â
