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 participate in the U.S. presidential primaries.[1] Straw polls were introduced with Act No. 58 of 2020 by the pro-statehood New Progressive Party majority.[2]
