At the diversity press conference representatives from various political parties participated in a draw to define the Caravan’s route, including Luis Tello for Movimiento Ciudadano, Luis Escoto for MORENA, Álvaro Gómez for the Labor Party, Alan Yamil Hinojosa for Fuerza y ​​Corazón por México, Marisela Marín for Hagamos, Laurel Carrillo for the Green Ecologist Party and Melissa Madero for the Future match.

Each representative had the responsibility of removing from a ballot box the ballots that determined the times and locations where the candidates for the municipal presidency of Vallarta will sign commitments for sexual and gender diversity. Each also spoke on behalf of their party.
