Unofficial results. The numbers below come straight from the Bergen County Clerk's election-night results.[1] They are not final: mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day count if they reach the county Board of Elections by Nov. 9.[2]

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, the unofficial count has challengers Ilyssa Callandrillo and Ashley Mungiello ahead of sitting members Frank Barbagallo and Vivek Bhushan for the K-8 board's two three-year seats, and challenger Samantha Anzano ahead of sitting member Brian Benedik for its unexpired term. At Ramapo Indian Hills, sitting member Brian DeLaite leads former board member Doreen M. Mariani, and the open space question has 87.5% yes.[6] The county has counted 7,394 ballots from Wyckoff's 13,863 registered voters, 53.34%, and still lists mail-in ballots as partially counted, so the number can rise. Not every ballot has a vote in every local race, so the one-seat races and the open space question each show fewer votes than ballots.[6]

K-8 Board of Education

Three seats on the K-8 board were on the ballot, in two contests.[3] An unexpired term fills the rest of a seat's term after a member leaves early. For the two three-year terms, voters could choose up to two of four candidates: sitting members Frank Barbagallo and Vivek Bhushan, and challengers Ilyssa Callandrillo and Ashley Mungiello. For the unexpired two-year term, sitting member Brian Benedik faced challenger Samantha Anzano.

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, the county's count shows Callandrillo with 3,403 votes, Mungiello 3,359, Barbagallo 2,416 and Bhushan 2,284 for the two three-year terms. Because each voter could vote twice, those totals are larger than the number of voters. For the unexpired term, Anzano has 3,323 votes to Benedik's 2,466.[6]

Ramapo Indian Hills Board of Education

Wyckoff voters chose one member of the nine-member regional high school board, for a three-year term: sitting member Brian DeLaite or Doreen M. Mariani, who served on the board through 2025.[3][7][8]

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, DeLaite has 3,170 votes to Mariani's 2,647.[6]

Open space question

Voters were asked whether to continue the township's Municipal Open Space Trust Fund with the levy capped at 1 cent per $100 of assessed value and without a five-year expiration, so it stays in effect until voters change it. The ordinance behind the question sets the cap at 1 cent, up from half a cent. One cent is a maximum, not a required rate. Based on the 2026 tax list, the ordinance estimates the levy at the full 1 cent would raise about $486,930 a year.[3][4]

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, the count shows 4,606 yes (87.5%) and 659 no (12.5%).[6] Our Oct. 4 explainer covers what the question changes.

Township Committee

Three of the five Township Committee seats were on the ballot. The Democratic column listed "No nomination made" for all three, so the only printed names were the Republican nominees: Mayor Roger J. Lane and Peter J. Melchionne for the two three-year terms, and James A. Schappert for the one-year unexpired term.[3] In an Oct. 23 guest op-ed on this site, Kenneth Silber wrote that he is a write-in candidate for Township Committee.

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, the county's count shows Peter J. Melchionne with 4,327 votes and Roger J. Lane with 4,306 for the two three-year terms, and James A. Schappert with 4,288 for the unexpired term.[6]

The county's write-in details, with data refreshed at 3:57 p.m. Wednesday, list 79 write-in votes as "Kenneth Silber" in the three-year race and 79 in the unexpired-term race. The three-year race also lists 40 as "KENNETH SILBER." The county lists each name on its own line, and we have not added them together.[5]

The county's 3:57 p.m. report lists write-in names without a write-in subtotal.[5]
