An election official read unofficial vote totals for Anniston municipal contests during the meeting transcript provided, showing Donald Gilley leading the Anniston Board of Education at-large race and Erica Tolleson leading the Ward 2 City Council contest. The transcript lists precinct-by-precinct counts and absentee ballots; it does not identify the official who read the results or state a certification date.

The unofficial totals for the Anniston Board of Education at-large race, as read in the transcript, sum to Donald Gilley 779 votes and Robert Houston 255 votes. The transcript records the following per-precinct counts for that race: Anniston First Presbyterian Church/Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama — Donald Gilley 87, Robert Houston 31; Carver Community Center — Donald Gilley 46, Robert Houston 14; Anniston Country Club — Donald Gilley 53, Robert Houston 44; Wiggins Community Center — Donald Gilley 127, Robert Houston 52; Hodges Community Center — Donald Gilley 162, Robert Houston 65; South Highland Community Center — Donald Gilley 85, Robert Houston 12; Anniston Regional Fire Training Center — Donald Gilley 113, Robert Houston 11; Anniston Senior Citizen and Therapeutic Recreation Center — Donald Gilley 37, Robert Houston 8. The transcript also records 15 absentee ballots for Gilley and 1 absentee ballot for Houston.

For the Anniston City Council Ward 2 race, the transcript shows Erica Tolleson leading Demetric Roberts. Per-precinct counts in the transcript include: Carver Community Center — Demetric Roberts 33, Erica Tolleson 27; Anniston Country Club — (not listed for Ward 2 in that precinct); a later readout shows Demetric Roberts 80, Erica Tolleson 97 at one precinct and Demetric Roberts 41, Erica Tolleson 84 at another; absentee totals read in the transcript for Ward 2 are 1 vote for Demetric Roberts and 7 votes for Erica Tolleson. The transcript’s final unofficial totals for Ward 2 are Demetric Roberts 155 and Erica Tolleson 215.

These numbers are presented in the transcript as unofficial readouts and were not described there as final, certified results. The transcript does not provide a certification timeline, the name or title of the person who will certify results, nor any post-reading actions such as provisional-ballot adjudication or canvass scheduling.

The readout in the transcript contains minor inconsistencies in spelling and precinct naming (for example, variations between "Donald Gilley" and "Donald Gilly" and an instance of "Anderson" that appears to be a transcription error for Anniston). This article uses the spellings that appear most consistently in the transcript and identifies precinct names as read. If official certification or corrected precinct labels are issued, those updates will supersede the figures reported here.
