[1] For the legislative and municipal elections of March 1919 the Peliquista Party was the only one that participated and its lists were imposed throughout the national territory, so that the peliquismo had unanimity in both houses of Congress.
The government newspaper La Información announced that the citizens had used the right of suffrage within the most perfect order and under the sign of tranquility, sanity and good harmony.
In an interview with La Información, Tinoco said that while absentee propaganda circulated inside and out, he preferred to remain silent because he trusted the people, and He added that the superiority of the ruling party is true and effective.
A few months later he said that the elections were held "... with the greatest order and with the widest freedom, and their results were highly satisfactory, because despite the campaign of abstentionism undertaken by government opponents and the natural difficulties of implementing the Citizenship card now indispensable for the exercise of suffrage, many votes were collected at all ballot boxes and once again proved, given the affiliation of the winning ballots in them, the powerful support with which our current political regime has in opinion freely manifested".
[1] The Peliquista Party disappeared following the resignation of President Tinoco in August 1919 and the dissolution of the Congress, which took place on September 2 following the breakdown of the constitutional order.
