Barcelona captain unable to vote in presidential election - here's why | Barca Universal
"Although the German was present at the polling station, even going to the voting counter to vote, he was unable to do so. Ter Stegen, a club member since joining in the summer of 2014, spent time with his advisors reviewing documentation in an effort to resolve the issue on the spot. Despite their best attempts, the problem could not be fixed, leaving the captain unable to exercise his right as a socio."
"According to Diario SPORT, ter Stegen was not eligible to vote as he was not present during the census of the club's socios. Currently on loan at Girona until June 30 while recovering from injury, ter Stegen's membership details had apparently not been updated in the club's electoral roll."
"I see my teammates day to day and they look good. I wasn't expecting this latest injury, but we have to accept it."
Barcelona held its presidential election with Joan Laporta and Victor Font competing for the position. Barcelona's captain Marc-André ter Stegen, currently on loan at Girona recovering from injury, attempted to vote but was unable to do so. Despite being a club member since 2014 and present at the polling station, ter Stegen's name did not appear on the electoral census. He consulted with advisors to resolve the issue but the problem could not be fixed. The universal census included 114,504 eligible members voting across five polling stations in Catalonia and Andorra. Ter Stegen later discussed his current injury situation, expressing disappointment but acceptance of the setback.
