Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – On Sunday, June 2, the entire Puerto Vallarta Municipal Citizen Security force, including both operational and Traffic elements, will be fully deployed to ensure the security of the election operations.

The city will host 587 voting booths across 169 locations, with each site having two security personnel assigned to handle any eventualities. Additionally, there will be four special booths: two in the Macro Plaza, one at Soriana Flamingos, and one at the esplanade of the flagpole at the Agustín Flores Contreras Municipal Sports Unit.
Special surveillance will be in place at the Electoral Council headquarters on Río Michigan Street #140 in Fluvial Vallarta and the Municipal Electoral Council headquarters on Revolución Street #350 in the Las Juntas delegation, opposite the Police Academy.
To ensure voter safety and compliance, police operations will also extend to traditional festivals.
