P.R. 2020 Referendum Ballot

The P.R. 2020 Referendum Ballot asked voters to decide whether to approve or reject a proposed change to Puerto Rico’s political status. The proposed option was to establish Puerto Rico as a sovereign nation—an independent country—while maintaining a special relationship with the United States, similar to a free association. Voters could choose “Yes” to approve this new status or “No” to reject it, maintaining the current territorial arrangement. This referendum aimed to clarify public opinion on Puerto Rico’s future political identity and whether independence should be pursued.
