Court annuls the election of Nacional de Itaocara and demands a new vote Reproduction Social Networks The Court annulled the election of the Deliberative Council and the board of directors of Nacional Esporte Clube de Itaocara, in the Northwest of Rio de Janeiro, held in December 2024, and ordered the holding of a new General Assembly to choose the directors within a period of up to 45 days. The decision is from the Single Court of the District of Itaocara and highlights a series of irregularities in the electoral process that, according to the sentence, compromise the legitimacy of the vote. Among the flaws highlighted are the absence, in the call notice, of the deadline for registering candidates; the second call for the meeting before the minimum interval provided for in the statute; inconsistencies in the notice publication dates; the lack of deliberation on the accountability of the previous board; differences in the composition of the board that led the assembly; and difference between the number of ballots counted and the number of signatures in the attendance book. ?

With the decision, the election and inauguration of the Deliberative Council for the 2025/2026 biennium, the election of the presidency, the constitution of the Fiscal Council and the formation of the board resulting from the electoral process held in December of last year are annulled. The sentence determines that the new election be held in accordance with the club's statutes. Among the requirements are compliance with the minimum deadline for registration of tickets, wide publicity of the call, publication of the list of members eligible to vote, a minimum interval of one hour between the first and second call for the meeting and control of voters and ballots. Despite the annulment, the current board of directors will provisionally remain in the club's administration until the new election is held, limited to the practice of ordinary management acts. Managers are prohibited from adopting extraordinary measures, such as changing the statute, selling or encumbering assets and assuming long-term obligations. The decision takes effect immediately, but it is still possible to appeal. The Court also determined that the Civil Registry of Legal Entities be communicated to record the existence of the court decision. In the same ruling, the judge rejected the claim for compensation for moral damages presented by the defendants against the plaintiffs and ordered the defendants to pay court costs and legal fees. In a note, the current president responded that he has not yet met to define the situation, but that he will comply with all court orders.
