Bartomeu was due to leave the club next year with election called for March, but his exit came too soon as fans and others mounted pressure on him to leave.
The club’s members called for a vote of no confidence in an effort to get Bartomeu out immediately.
A total of 20,687 votes were gathered for the motion against Bartomeu, passing the threshold of 16,250 signatures required for the vote to go ahead.
He became Barcelona’s president in 2014, following the resignation of Sandro Rosell.
