Barcelona's President Josep Maria Bartomeu
The Catalan club were due to hold elections in 2016 but Bartomeu has decided to bring them forward a year following the dismissal of sports director Andoni Zubizarreta last Monday.
"I have taken the decision so as to ease the tension which I believe to be disproportionate and doesn't reflect the reality of the club," Bartomeu told a news conference at the Nou Camp.
"It is a club which is functioning well, we are going to construct a new stadium and on the sporting front we are still in all the competitions.
"I ask that there is 'fair play' among all the candidates (for the election) and we all concentrate on what is best for the club.
"It is best that mandates are completed but there has been too much tension over the last few weeks. We will continue our programme now and there will be no changes there. I have talked with the other board members but it is me that takes the decisions.
"We will seek re-election. We started in 2010 and we want to keep going."
