Corinthians set 19 September vote on statute reforms and Fiel Torcedor voting rights | OneFootball

Corinthians’ Conselho Deliberativo president, Romeu Tuma Júnior, has set 19 September for an assembleia geral to vote on club statute reforms, including a plan to give Fiel Torcedor members voting rights in board elections.

Globo.com reports this is the latest attempt to update a document last changed in 2017, after numerous hurdles, most recently a court injunction in June that suspended a previous vote.

That meeting had been slated to consider the full package from the Comissão da Reforma do Estatuto, even parts the Conselho Deliberativo had rejected, prompting anger among some councillors.

Seeking a viable path, Tuma Júnior cancelled the injunction-barred assembly and called a new session, limited to items already approved by the Conselho Deliberativo.

Councillors rejected the base text but passed several amendments. The headline change enables Fiel Torcedor participants to vote for the diretoria. At present, only social club associados have a ballot.

If ratified, voting rights for Fiel Torcedor would start this year for those who have contributed over the past four years. The assembleia geral will also decide on voting rights for associados do futebol, the composition and electoral system of the Conselho Deliberativo, the waiting period for member voting, the number of rounds in the diretoria election, election of members of the Conselho de Ética, administrative independence of the Conselho Deliberativo, limits on membros natos of the Conselho de Orientação, the periodicidade dos balancetes, and a new 12-month term for mandates arising from vacancies with a transition rule.
