Relatives of missing people in Jalisco demonstrate in 2024 election ballots

Families of missing people protest on electoral ballots and other citizens, in these 2024 elections.

In Jalisco, the state with the most missing people, citizens expressed themselves in the electoral ballots asking for the return of all the victims.

In some cases the name of a missing person was written and in others a slogan.

This initiative promoted by groups of relatives of missing persons was named #VotoPorUnDesaparecidx and was carried out throughout the country.

The manifestation ‘Vote for a missing person‘ was started by Leticia Hidalgo, mother of Roy Rivera Hidalgo, missing since 2011 in Monterrery, Nuevo León, according to the Spanish media El País.

The first time Leticia Hidalgo ‘voted’ for her son was in the 2021 midterm elections, along with other search mothers and members of groups.

During the march of mothers of missing persons on May 10 in Mexico City, the idea arose to promote ‘I vote for a missing person‘ and a website was created explaining the initiative and naming missing persons.

“Vote for missing persons is a campaign proposed by the families of missing persons in Mexico that aims make visible the crisis of disappearances in the country that has been attempted to be made invisible in the electoral process,” explains the website.

The report of the National Search Commission (CNB) recognizes that in Mexico there are 114 thousand 538 missing people, In Jalisco, Jalisco has 14,989 people.
