In the unofficial results of the 2025 Anniston runoff election, Donald Gilley emerged as a clear frontrunner for the Anniston City School Board at large, securing a total of 779 votes against Robert Houston's 255. This significant margin reflects strong community support for Gilley, who consistently led in various polling locations, including the Anniston Country Club and the Wiggins Community Center.

For the position of Ward 2 on the Anniston City Council, Demetric Roberts received 155 votes, while Bridal Tolleson trailed closely with 97 votes. The results from multiple polling stations indicate a competitive race, with Roberts gaining notable support at locations such as the Anniston Regional Fire Training Center.

The voting data also highlighted the performance of candidates across different community centers, showcasing Gilley's dominance in the Board of Education race. His lowest count was still a substantial 37 votes at the Anniston Senior Citizen and Therapeutic Recreation Center, while Houston struggled to gain traction, often receiving fewer than 20 votes at various sites.

Absentee ballots further confirmed Gilley's lead, with 15 votes compared to Houston's single vote. The results from this election not only reflect the candidates' individual campaigns but also signal the community's preferences moving forward.

As the city prepares for the official certification of these results, the implications of this election will likely shape the future of educational leadership and city governance in Anniston.
