The upcoming club elections are a big deal. So, when the General Assembly Board (MAG) finally shared its proposed Electoral Regulation this Wednesday, many eyes turned to the details. This move is a crucial step. The new statutes say members must vote on these rules themselves.
Martim Mayer, a candidate for the presidency, quickly praised the Board’s decision. He called its purpose “constructive and democratic.” Mayer, the grandson of former club leader Borges Coutinho, welcomed the regulation. He said it was good that a voting plan was now on the table for members to approve.
Mayer and his team are focused on two key things. First, they want every member to vote easily, no matter where they live. Second, members need to fully understand each candidate’s plans. This way, they can make smart choices. His team plans to work with the MAG and other candidates. They want the best solutions for all supporters.
A major point for Mayer is electronic voting. The proposed regulation suggests this for members outside the main territory. Mayer sees this as a positive step. It would make voting much easier and promote participation. He believes if any candidate tries to stop this, their goal would be clear. They would simply be blocking wider voting rights and adding costs for the club.
Another good sign in the proposal is how it handles club communication. It makes sure candidates can use club channels. Even better, it specifically calls for debates among all candidates. Mayer has always said that honest discussions are vital for members. These debates will show who truly wants members to have all the facts.
Everyone is now looking forward to next Monday’s meeting. Mayer and other candidates will meet with the MAG. They will dig into the proposal’s details. This will be a chance to talk about solutions. Together, they will build what Mayer calls the most important electoral process in the club’s recent history.
