Crucial start to the week for Colón ahead of the 30 November elections | OneFootball

Colón will experience a decisive day this Monday in its institutional calendar. Following the objections submitted in recent hours, the Electoral Board set 5 PM this Monday as the deadline for the involved lists to present their defenses and supporting documents. This will be an essential step before the electoral body moves towards the final purification of candidacies for the elections on November 30.

The previous meeting, held at the club's headquarters, left several points on the table. The representatives received the complete lists to review names, positions, and documentation. Some formal errors — misspelled surnames, duplicate entries, or minor inconsistencies — were already corrected in a meeting that attendees described as “cordial” and “orderly.” The Board emphasized unifying validation criteria and ensuring a transparent process as the schedule progresses.

The objections and the questioned names

At this stage, several candidates were placed under observation. The formal requests demand the exclusion of:

Sangre de Campeones

Tradición Sabalera

Unidad Colonista

According to reports, Ricardo Luciani, José Alonso, Gustavo Abraham, and Carlos Trod did not submit additional objections to the Electoral Tribunal, making the resolution of the body crucial to determine whether the objected candidates will continue in the race.

A process entering the final stretch

While the lists prepare their defenses, the electoral schedule advances without changes. The Electoral Board will decide this Wednesday 19 on the final resolution for each objected case, formally clearing the lists.

Then, on Thursday, November 20, there will be the official presentation of the authorized lists, a step before the Ordinary General Assembly, scheduled for November 20, a mandatory institutional instance before the electoral event.

Meanwhile, it was confirmed that the competing lists are:

Measures and proposals: order, control, and internal debate

In the meeting, a significant measure was also agreed upon: the installation of tents or campaign activities in the club's entrance area will not be allowed during the election's lead-up. The Board seeks to avoid tension episodes experienced in previous elections and ensure a peaceful atmosphere on voting day.

Another topic that sparked debate was the attempt by two groups to promote a single list, which was ultimately rejected due to a lack of quorum, as confirmed by Eugenio Marcolín, a member of the Electoral Board.

Additionally, Ricardo Magdalena raised the need to update the registry, indicating that between 2,000 and 3,000 members have stopped paying their fees in the last two months. Although they will not be excluded, they must regularize their situation to exercise their right to vote on November 30.

A crucial Monday for the club's political future

With the deadline for defenses about to expire, the groups are fine-tuning documents and arguments. The decision of the Electoral Board will mark the starting point of the final stretch towards elections considered crucial for Colón's immediate future, in a particularly delicate sporting, economic, and political context.

El Sabalero enters a decisive week. Monday may begin to formally outline who will be able to compete and who will be left out in the race to lead the club in the coming years.
