It has been established by precedent and the debates we had in 2014 that the directors will determine the Chess Federation of Canada's vote in FIDE presidential elections. We have been contacted directly by one candidate and indirectly by another. Nigel Short has not made any contacts with us. Two of the candidates have some issues.
We should debate that at the next AGM. The VM deserve at least a straw vote on this matter.Quote:

What is the deadline for presenting a FIDE presidential ticket?
I hope that more persons will stand because with only those three, the choice is clear, we have almost no choice at all because, as you said, two of those candidates do not seem to be viable.
My choice in this group of three is Georgios Makropoulos.
I seriously doubt that there will be any other candidate. It is very late in the cycle. Georgios Makropoulos would not be running if he could have persuaded someone else who was serious and viable to do so.
