A fifth of people do not have an opinion. By levels, the highest percentage of favoritism attributed to Villas-Boas comes from the North region (53.9%).

By age groups, the candidate trying to break a cycle of 42 years of presidency has greater support among those aged 18 to 34 (46.9%), while the man seeking to secure a 16th consecutive term is more popular among those aged 35 at 54 years old (38.9%).

The elections at FC Porto are scheduled for this Saturday, but this Friday another deadline ends that will have an impact on the ballot: members have until 8pm to pay their dues, an essential condition to be able to vote. The doors to Estádio do Dragão open tomorrow, from 9am, and the queue closes at 8pm – anyone waiting at that time has the guarantee that they will be able to exercise their right to vote.

The new governing bodies will take office within a maximum period of two weeks, that is, by May 12th. It has not been revealed whether Villas-Boas will be able to be on the presidential stand, this Saturday, in the classic, if he is elected.
