The electoral board, chaired by José Manuel de Carlos Grau, validated the candidacies of Florentino Pérez Rodríguez, member number 1,484, and Enrique José Riquelme Vives, member number 41,736. Voting will take place on Sunday, June 7, between 9:00 and 20:00 at the basketball pavilion of the Real Madrid sports city in Valdebebas.
