Quiñones explained that the organization has already notified all the pre-candidates that they have the alternative, if they wish, to continue representing their respective municipalities for 2021. The women who have decided to stay will have more time for training and preparation for next year's local pageant, which is estimated to be held in June 2021.

The director also mentioned that when the pandemic erupted Madison relocated to Orlando, Florida to be with her family and will return to Puerto Rico starting August, following all necessary safety measures and ready for new challenges.
