Puerto Rican suffrage

Puerto Rican suffrage refers to the voting rights of citizens in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory. While Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens and can vote in primaries for federal elections, they cannot vote in the general presidential election. In local elections, they have full voting rights. The unique political status of Puerto Rico creates a complicated relationship with U.S. democracy, as residents have limited representation and no electoral votes in national elections, leading to ongoing discussions about their political rights and potential statehood.
