After consultations with the SPKC, it has been decided that persons who had attended the July 3 Congress of the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) at the Elektrum Olympic Center must take the Covid-19 test within the last two days before the General Assembly and must be negative. Only then is it possible to attend the review-election session of the LOK General Assembly.
All members of the LOK General Assembly will be required to complete a special Covid-19 related certification form, participants will be required to measure remote body temperature, maintain a distance of two meters and, if necessary, use disinfectants, personal protective masks and gloves.
Taking into account the Covid-19 containment and precautionary measures, only two authorized representatives of the LOC members – the Olympic Sports Federation and the Latvian Olympic Club – as well as the nominated candidates for election as individual members of the LOC will be able to participate in the LOC General Assembly session.
The LOK General Assembly was due to take place on March 20, but was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The members of the LOC have nominated 72 candidates for election as individual members, the President, the Secretary General, as well as members of the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee.
One candidate has been nominated for the position of LOK President – LOK Secretary General George Tikmer, and one candidate has also been nominated for LOK Secretary General – a member of the LOK Executive Committee and Kārlis Lejnieks, Secretary General of the Latvian Tennis Union.
40 candidates have been nominated as candidates for individual members of the LOC, 33 persons have been nominated for the positions of 19 members of the Executive Committee of the LOC, and nine candidates apply for the positions of three members of the Audit Committee of the LOC.
During the General Assembly of the LOC, elections of individual members, the President of the LOC, the Secretary General, the Executive Committee, Vice-Presidents and members of the Audit Commission will take place, as well as the 2019 report and the 2020 Revenue-Expenditure Estimate will be approved.
After the resumption of the LOK in 1988, it has had two presidents. From 1988 to 2004, Vilnis Baltiņš was the president of LOK, but from 2004 Aldons Vrubļevskis was the president of LOK.
