The presidential election in question was scheduled to take place on January 24, but due to the rise in morbidity in Spain, the new date chosen is March 7.
To reach the final stage of the election, the candidates were required to collect more than 2,257 signatures from the members of the club, the "Socius", and after the votes were counted, only three crossed the threshold - Juan Laporta, Victor Pont and Tony Freisha, from whom the president will be elected 41- of the club and the one that will replace Joseph Maria Bartomeu who resigns, and is replaced by Carlos Tuskets.
Traditionally, those who are allowed to vote are the fans.
In the case of Barça, it is "Socius", the club members, who must be over the age of 18 and have memberships of more than a year.
Voting is usually held within the walls of the Camp Nou stadium, but due to the current situation a necessary change has been made, and voting will be allowed by mail, and those aged 65 and over will be allowed to vote from their homes.
In addition, club members living outside Catalonia and in cities such as Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla and Mallorca will also be able to complete their voting by mail.
The election campaign, which began on January 14, will last until March 5, and two days later the new president will be announced.
According to forecasts, Juan Laporta is the leading candidate to win, when like his two competitors, he too stressed the importance of keeping Leo Messi at the club.
Pont, on the other hand, has presented a long list of changes he is interested in, including bringing back to the club past players like Xavi, Carles Puyol, Gerard Lopes and others.
Freisha actually expressed support for current coach Ronald Koeman, claiming he is Barça's solution for the near future.
