Barcelona presidential elections: 20,663 members have voted by post

Current Barcelona news is increasingly dominated by the club’s presidential elections which are now just two days away – the new president will be confirmed by Sunday evening.

Joan LaportaToni Freixa and Victor Font are the three candidates on the final ballot and each has a different idea on the future of the club and will appoint a new board following their triumph.

It has now been highlighted by Cadena Cope how 20,663 have already been cast by postal vote – 90.6 percent of the members who had requested such a vote.

The rules of the delayed election now mean that postal ballots will be included in this election, with the method encouraged to reduce potential crowds at polling stations on the day due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is highlighted how 22,811 members signed up for the postal ballot, although none of the votes will be opened or counted until all votes are submitted by the deadline on 7 March.

87,479 members are legible to cast their vote in person on Sunday, with the race for president set to go to the wire.

Those 2148 members who requested to vote by mail and did not exercise their right, will not be able to vote in person on Sunday due to the electoral rules.

  1. Laporta all the way to help convince our club legend Lionel Messi to stay so up coming players of fcb can tap that burning desire to win from him coz that winning mentality is really important for a club seeking to rebuild.

  2. I pray that Laporta wins because, his regime has ever led the club to one of its best ever greatness both on and off the pitch

  3. laparta good luck,Laporta all the way to help convince our club legend Lionel Messi to stay so up coming players of fcb

  4. I hope laporta win the election, becouse i remember the time when he was a barca presidant, the club archieved all aur success, good all the best jorn leporta

  5. I go for Joan Laporta so that he sack the current coach and appoint Tentag the Ajax coach and convince Xavi Hernandez to become an Assistant Coach so he may gain experience with Barca for future endeavours

  6. I HOPE JOAN LAPORTA WINS THE ELECTION,BECAUSE HE HAS THE MIND OF REBUILDING OUR CLUB TO THE BEST WAY WE WANT IT TO BE.

    1. I want laporta to win the election so that he changed the adminstration because the way they are Barca ,, we the fans are not happy about it , we are supposed to top at table but we let athletico madrid to be ahead of us by giving them suarez that make them stronger and I always believe that laporta will do anything in his capacity to keep the team save

  7. I support Joan Laporte’s candidature, he has what it takes to reposition barcelona. If keeping Messi will cost us Erling Haaland, let him go, let’s have a new generation of players. Laporte should appoint Nalgelsmann or Tenhag then Xavi an assistant.

  8. Juan Laporta….All the way…..He was the visionary that led to the Golden era for Barcelona

  9. Think Laporta has the best shot at fixing all the damage Bartomeu and his cronys have done to the club; he has good history with the major actors in this drama, esp. Messi, piloted the club in their heydey – might even be able to re-energize talent coming from La Maisa

  10. I want laporta to win the election so that he changed the adminstration because the way they are Barca ,, we the fans are not happy about it , we are supposed to top at table but we let athletico madrid to be ahead of us by giving them suarez that make them stronger and I always believe that laporta will do anything in his capacity to keep the team save

  11. May GOD appoint the one who will bring success for the team not just by name. But by happiness to the fans.

  12. I pray for God’s direction for this election. NY of them that win, I’ll believe it’s the will of God. Laporte doing well before was the will of God. So let’s God take the lead. I welcome any of them. With God they will succeed.

  13. I want Laporte to win this coming election in or der to sack that useless two people i.e coach and griezmann

  14. I pray for Joan larpote t carry d day. God bless him in today’s victory. I love his style of leadership. That’s my main man.
