526 of those present voted in favour of Laporta's continuation, 376 (39.9%) against, and 40 (4.2%) submitted blank votes.

This vote came after an impassioned speech from the club leader. As FCBarcelona.cat reported, sections included, "Two leagues and a European Cup in five years is a good return, but I understand that two seasons without a trophy is cause for deep reflection.
