| Elections in Puerto Rico |
|---|
 |
Although Puerto Rico does not participate in U.S. presidential general elections because it is an unincorporated territory and not a state, and therefore cannot send members to the U.S. Electoral College, Puerto Ricans are citizens of the United States and are able to participate in the U.S. presidential primaries.[1]
With the passage of Act No. 58 in 2020 by the pro-statehood New Progressive Party, voters will be able to participate in a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election for the first time in the territory's history. Puerto Rico is the second U.S. territory to use straw polls for presidential elections, after Guam introduced their own in 1980 and has conducted a preference vote to coincide with every presidential election since.[2]
