Elvir obtained 4,830 votes (4.9% of the valid votes in the constituency). He alternate deputy was Aldo Farin Acosta Sarmiento. In the parliament Elvir was part of the commission that prepared the proposal for constitutional reform to allow the setting up of 'model cities'.

In August 2013 Elvir tabled a parliamentary motion seeking to reform article 321 of the Honduras Penal Code, the article that outlaws discrimination against the LGBT community. According to Elvir, article 321 contravenes freedom of religion.
