These are the routes of the MIO that will take you to the polling stations for the second round of the presidential elections this June 21 in Cali

In preparation for the second-round presidential elections scheduled for June 21, 2026, the Mass Transit System (MIO) in Cali has implemented specific routes aimed at facilitating citizens' access to polling stations throughout the city. This initiative is part of Metrocali's broader effort to ensure smooth mobility during the electoral process, particularly as the day is expected to see high voter turnout. The system will operate its usual hours, starting at 6:00 a.m. and ending at 10:00 p.m., allowing voters, election officials, witnesses, and logistical personnel to travel safely and efficiently.

The MIO will provide transportation to 206 designated polling stations within Cali, including six located in rural areas such as La Buitrera, La Sirena, La Viga, La Vorágine, and El Hormiguero. These locations have been included in the service plan due to their accessibility via MIO buses, ensuring that even residents in more remote parts of the district can reach their assigned voting sites without difficulty. To support this operation, Metrocali has deployed operational staff, inspectors, controllers, technical teams, and collaborators from the Central Control Center who will monitor the performance of the service and address any mobility-related issues promptly.

To assist users in navigating these new routes, Metrocali has emphasized the availability of digital tools. Voters can use the official MIO App, as well as third-party platforms like Google Maps and Moovit, to determine the most suitable route based on their specific polling location. By entering the exact address of their voting site into these applications, individuals can receive detailed information about available routes and estimated travel times. Additionally, users have the option to pay their fare using debit or credit cards linked to Visa or Mastercard, offering flexibility beyond traditional MIO card payments.

Operational adjustments have also been made to accommodate the increased demand. Strategic stations and terminals will feature MIO Guides—trained personnel tasked with providing assistance to passengers seeking directions or needing help identifying appropriate routes. These guides will be especially present at locations experiencing higher passenger flow, reinforcing the system’s ability to handle the anticipated surge in usage. Furthermore, the MIO will maintain its regular schedule, ensuring continuous service both before and after the polls close, which is crucial for accommodating all participants in the electoral process.

The inclusion of rural areas in the MIO's coverage highlights the commitment to equitable access to voting rights. In regions where public transportation might otherwise be limited, the MIO serves as a vital link between residents and their designated polling stations. This measure is particularly significant given the challenges often faced by communities in less urbanized zones, where alternative means of transportation may be scarce or unreliable.

As the date approaches, Metrocali continues to coordinate with local authorities and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that all logistical aspects are covered. This includes preparing for potential contingencies and ensuring that the infrastructure supporting the MIO remains functional and secure throughout the electoral period. With these preparations in place, the MIO aims to contribute effectively to a seamless and inclusive voting experience for all eligible citizens in Cali.
