    It is proved that a polynomial \(p\) of the form \(p(x)= \sum^n_{j=0} a_jx^j\), \(| a_0 |=1\), \(| a_j| \leq 1\), \(a_j\in \mathbb{C}\), has at most \(c\sqrt n\) zeros inside any polygon with vertices on the unit circle, where the constant \(c\) depends only on the polygon. Furthermore, if \(\alpha \in (0,1)\) then every polynomial \(p\) of the above form has at most \(c/ \alpha\) zeros inside any polygon with vertices on the circle \(\{z\in \mathbb{C}: | z|= 1-\alpha \}\), where the constant \(c\) depends only on the number of vertices of the polygon. It is also shown that there is an absolute constant \(c\) such that every polynomial of the form \(p(x)= \sum^n_{j=0} a_jx^j\), \(| a_0| =| a_n |=1\), \(| a_j |\leq 1\), \(a_j\in \mathbb{C}\), has at most \(c(n\alpha +\sqrt n)\) zeros in the strip \(\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |\text{Im}(z) |\leq \alpha\}\), and in the sector \(\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |\arg (z)| \leq\alpha\}\). These essentially sharp results improve and generalize several earlier results.
