The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will decide by Thursday if FIFA must adopt Prince Ali bin al Husseins request to use transparent voting booths in Fridays presidential election in Zurich. Prince Ali of Jordan, one of five candidates bidding to succeed Sepp Blatter, is seeking reassurances over the voting procedure for the election and called for a postponement if his concerns were not answered. He took the case to CAS on Monday and the accelerated tribunal proceedings - with a decision on the eve of the scheduled vote - meaning there will almost certainly be no delay in the election. FIFA dismissed Prince Alis plea to use the transparent polling booths, but now footballs world governing body has been asked to explain its reasons by CAS, which issued a statement on Tuesday announcing the expedited process for a ruling.Voters reportedly documented how they had voted in last Mays presidential election, prompting this weeks extraordinary congress and leading to Prince Alis request as he bids to ensure a fair election.Prince Ali outlined his concerns in a letter to delegates on Tuesday, writing: The FIFA Presidential election should go ahead as planned but only if it is free, fair and honest. FIFA presidential candidate Jerome Champagne supports the use of transparent voting booths Nearly two weeks ago, on February 11, I wrote to the FIFA ad-hoc electoral committee concerned about reports that voters would again be under pressure to photograph their ballots to prove that they voted as directed, as happened in the last election.I offered a solution to provide transparent voting booths. FIFA agreed that the integrity of the election could be compromised but rejected the use of transparent voting booths.FIFAs alternative plan is to tell delegates to leave their mobile phones outside the voting booths. This proposal is unenforceable and without sanction. On February 22, I appealed to CAS and requested an expedited hearing to resolve the matter before Fridays election. FIFA blocked an expedited hearing. FIFA presidential candidate Gianni Infantino one of the favourites I want this election to occur as soon as possible, but not at the risk of undermining its integrity. The transparent voting booths are now in Zurich and available for use in Fridays election. The eyes of the world are on this election. Everything must be done to ensure that its integrity is intact.Prince Ali is standing for election alongside Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al Khalifa of Bahrain, UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino, South Africas Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne, a former FIFA deputy secretary general from France.The CAS statement read: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has registered an appeal and request for urgent provisional measures filed by HRH Prince Ali Al Hussein of Jordan against a decision taken by the FIFA ad-hoc electoral committee dated February 15, 2016 in which it declined to incorporate the use of transparent voting booths for the upcoming FIFA presidential election. SSNHQ reporter Kaveh Solhekol explains why Prince Ali wants the election suspended HRH Prince Ali Al Hussein seeks an order that FIFA be directed to use transparent voting booths, as well as independent scrutineers, in order to safeguard the integrity of the voting process and to ensure that the vote is conducted in secret.
