Abstract We of random polynomials of the form Pn (z) = n consider the zero distribution ∞ are non-trivial i.i.d. complex random variables with a B (z), where {a } k k=0 k=0 k k mean 0 and finite variance. Polynomials {Bk }∞ k=0 are selected from a standard basis such as Szeg˝o, Bergman, or Faber polynomials associated with a Jordan domain G whose boundary is C 2,α smooth. We show that the zero counting measures of Pn converge almost surely to the equilibrium measure on the boundary of G. We also show that if {ak }∞ k=0 are i.i.d. random variables, and the domain G has analytic boundary, then for a random series of the form f (z) = ∞ k=0 ak Bk (z), ∂G is almost surely the natural boundary for f (z).

G with analytic boundary L, equidistributed near L, i.e., distribute according to the equilibrium measure of L. We refer the reader to [8] for references to the literature on random polynomials. In this note, we extend the above result to Jordan domains with lesser regularity, namely domains with C 2,α boundary, see Theorem 1.1 below. To state our results we need to set up some notation. Let G ⊂ C be a Jordan domain. We set  = C\G, the exterior of G and  the exterior of the closed unit disc. By the Riemann mapping theorem there is a unique conformal mapping  :  → , (∞) = ∞,  (∞) > 0. We denote the equilibrium measure of E = G by 1 n δZ μ E . For a polynomial Pn of degree n, with zeros at {Z k,n }nk=1 , let τn = n k=1 k,n denote its normalized zero counting measure. For a sequence of positive measures w {μn }∞ n=1 , we write μn → μ to denote weak convergence of these measures to μ. A random variable X is called non-trivial if P(X = 0) < 1. Theorem 1.1 Let G be a Jordan domain in C whose boundary L is C 2,α smooth for some 0 0 such that  lim inf n→∞
