With 100 percent of districts reported and the results certified as of Wednesday, here are the final tallies, according to the Essex County Clerk's Office:

CHARTER STUDY

Millburn voters were asked to cast a "yes" or "no" vote on whether to elect a commission to study the town charter and potentially recommend changes to the town's form of government. After the work of the commission is complete and a recommendation is made, the voters of Millburn will have an opportunity to vote on whether to enact the commission’s recommendation at a future election.

Voters were also asked to choose five candidates for board commissioners (see the winners here). If the question for a charter study commission failed, then no candidates would have been elected. Learn more here.

The referendum passed, clearing the way for the charter study. Here are the official results from the Essex County Clerk’s Office:

• YES – 4,458 votes (65.3%)
• NO – 2,369 votes (34.7%)
