High Voter Turnout in Real Madrid Elections

Real Madrid has released a new update on today's elections, deemed crucial for the club's future. As of 5 PM local time, the 'Blancos' reported a voter turnout exceeding 31%, a significant percentage compared to previous elections. Marca further notes that the gap between the two candidates remains predictably wide. Their exit polls at the polling station in Real Madrid's basketball arena indicate that current president Florentino Pérez holds a commanding lead with 65.80% against Enrique Riquelme's 34.20%. These elections mark the first time in a while that club members have a genuine choice between candidates. The last contested election between two candidates was in 2006, when Ramón Calderón narrowly defeated Juan Palacios. Voting will continue until 8 PM local time, after which ballot counting will commence.
