Elections
2013
Giattina won re-election to his District 3 seat on August 27, 2013. He ran unopposed for the seat as the filing deadline for the election passed without additional candidates in District 3.[3] Due to Alabama state law, write-in candidates are not allowed in Birmingham's municipal elections, so he won the election by default once the filing deadline passed.[4] Giattina's name was not on the ballot, and as a result, there is no vote total for the District 3 race.[4]
2009
Giattina first won election to the board on August 25, 2009. He faced fellow challengers Elisa Burns-Macon, Bob Friedman and Randall Woodfin to fill the open seat in District 3. Giattina advanced from the August 25 general election and defeated Burns-Macon in a runoff election on October 6, 2009.
