Not a single ticket was registered for the elections in Flamengo after 8 days of opening for registration

Flamengo's electoral process officially began on August 31, when the club's Board of Directors published the list of voters eligible to vote in this year's election. On the 10th, the deadline for registration of tickets opened, which runs until September 30th. However, to date, eight days after the beginning of the registration period, not one of the six announced pre-candidacies has been officially registered.

First of all, to register the ticket, the candidate must present a complete composition, totaling 156 names, all competitors. In addition, the list must contain the positions of president, general vice-president, president and vice-president of the General Assembly, 80 members of the Transitional Body of the Deliberative Council (CoDe), in addition to 72 members of the Board of Directors (CoAd).

Members running for the Deliberative and Administrative Councils must sign an authorization form to have their names included on the list. This requirement was approved at a CoDe meeting on May 8, 2023, along with other changes to the electoral process.

In summary, one of the main challenges faced by the slates is the composition of the Electoral College. This is because, of the 6,124 members able to vote, more than 50% are owner members, who cannot be included in the Transitional Body of the Deliberative Council, where only members from the Patrimonial, Laureate and Contributors categories, including those Off-Rio, can compete. On the other hand, on the Board of Directors, all categories are allowed, but two-thirds of the members must be owners. The process follows the order of ticket registration, registration and approval, which will be carried out by the CoAd until November 10th.

For the second time since 2012, Flamengo's Electoral College shrank. In 2021, 6,886 members were eligible to vote, a drop of 1,128 compared to 2018, when the club had 8,014 eligible members. This year, the number decreased to 6,124, although it may still vary due to pending payments. This number is close to the level seen in 2012, when 5,932 members had the right to vote.
