Puerto Rico has the status of a U.S. territory, and therefore cannot vote in the U.S. presidential election. Puerto Ricans who live and register in one of the 50 American states can vote.

However, every four years, Puerto Ricans can vote to elect their local government and a delegate to U.S. Congress.

The local government election is called the general election (elecciones generals), and the head of the government is called the governor (el gobernador).

There are a few dominant political parties in Puerto Rico:
– the Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP);
– the Partido Popular Democratico (PPD);
– the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP).
