Official Statement from the Real Madrid Electoral Board
In response to the statements made by candidate Enrique Riquelme, where he claims that only one of the candidacies has access to the club's census, as well as the doubts and distrust expressed regarding the custody and safekeeping of the postal vote, this Electoral Board states the following:
1. The Electoral Board has not provided the electoral census to any of the candidacies running in the elections scheduled for next June 7.
2. The Electoral Board has communicated to both candidacies, in writing, the procedure for sending information, documentation, and materials to members. Additionally, candidate Enrique Riquelme was informed of this procedure in person on the day he submitted his candidacy.
3. This procedure is established in the regulations governing the electoral process (point 2 of the section on the electoral census) published for this purpose. The regulations explain that the candidacies must provide the Electoral Board with the information, documentation, and materials they wish to send to the members, and the club takes responsibility for the distribution.
4. The Electoral Board set Monday, June 1, at 6:00 pm as the deadline for receiving the information, documentation, and materials that each candidacy wishes to send to the members.
5. The Electoral Board expresses significant concern regarding Enrique Riquelme's statements that cast suspicion on the safekeeping and security of the postal vote, as in response to a question from this candidacy on the matter, the Electoral Board replied in writing, from which we transcribe this excerpt:
“To enhance transparency and trust in the integrity of the postal vote custody procedure, the candidacies that request it may designate one of their duly accredited representatives to remain continuously near the access to the room designated for the custody of the votes.
The presence of the representatives in this area will be understood as taking place in a space subject to the existing surveillance and security systems within the club's facilities, and will be subject to the applicable video surveillance regulations and image processing that, where appropriate, may be carried out in accordance with current legislation.”
6. Therefore, any information, documentation, or material that has reached the members of any candidacy through the club has been processed in compliance with the current procedure and regulations.
7. The Electoral Board is rigorously and precisely adhering to the applicable regulations throughout the current electoral process and therefore requests respect.
