The electoral process for the General Assembly of the Spanish Badminton Federation (FESBA), which began on September 9, has been plagued by irregularities, especially in the processing of voting by mail, whose deadline ended on October 10. The complaints have accumulated, revealing errors ranging from failure to submit documentation to errors in voter data, affecting participation in the elections.
One of the main problems has been the failure to send the necessary documentation to vote by mail, which has prevented many voters from participating in the process. In several cases, voters received the envelopes with the ballots on the same day the deadline expired or they never received them, violating their fundamental right to vote.
In addition, numerous errors have been detected in postal addresses, which caused many envelopes to be sent to incorrect or incomplete locations. This logistical failure has generated a serious dysfunction in the electoral process, forcing the presentation of claims by those affected. Added to this were errors in names, surnames and identification numbers on the certificates necessary to cast the vote at the post offices, which added even more difficulties to the process.
In Andalusia, for example, 21 complaints have been presented to the Electoral Board for these rulings, which constitutes a serious infraction in a process that must be governed by the principles of transparency and equity. The irregularities have been reported to both the Higher Sports Council and the Sports Administrative Court, without a response having been received to date.
The actors involved demand that the affected voters be allowed to exercise their right in person or that the documentation be sent to them urgently, extending the deadline for them to vote. These complaints reveal poor management by the FESBA, whose inability to manage voting by mail has compromised the transparency and fairness of the elections.
The complaints emphasize that these errors are not isolated incidents, but rather indicative of serious disorganization, with repeated failures that especially affect certain autonomous communities, which has raised suspicions about the impartiality of the process.
