What is the most important requirement to become a state?
In terms of a state like the 50 states of America, one has to be accepted the majority of the territory voters and then by Congress. The case of Puerto Rico is different. Last year Congress passed H.R. 2499. Under this legislation, there are two plebiscites (Latin for voting) on the island. In the first vote, there are two options: (1) Puerto Rico should continue to have its present form of political status. If you agree, mark here ___ (2) Puerto Rico should have a different political status. If you agree, mark here___ If option 1 has the majority, then Puerto Rico must schedule a vote every 8 years or until the majority of voters vote for either independence or statehood (see below) If option two has the majority, then there is a second round of voting where there are three options: (1) Independence: Puerto Rico should become fully independent from the United States. If you agree, mark here___. (2) Sovereignty in Association with the United States: Puerto Rico and the United States should form a political association between sovereign nations that will not be subject to the Territorial Clause of the United States Constitution. If you agree, mark here___ (3) Statehood: Puerto Rico should be admitted as a State of the Union. If you agree, mark here____ Option 1 is for full independence; Option 2 is the status quo; Option 3 is for statehood. Prior to H.R 2499, Puerto Rico in the first round just had a yes or no answer in the first round of voting. Puerto Rico had voting for independence or statehood several times since 1967 and each time Puerto Rico voted for the status quo.
Is there going to be 51 US states in the future?
Right now, it is uncertain. Puerto Rico is the most likely candidate for becoming the 51st state, however, the territory has had numerous occasions to do so already and has not voted on statehood. On November 6, Puerto Rico will have another referendum on statehood where it will vote on whether to stay a territory, become a state, or become independent. It is unlikely that Puerto Rico will vote for independence, so it really comes down to statehood or keeping the status quo. It is expected that Puerto Rico will vote to keep territorial status.

When should Puerto Rico be added to the US flag?
A star representing Puerto Rico would be added to the US flag only if Puerto Rico were to become a State in the Union. At present it is a self-governing territory of the United States, not a State. The option to seek statehood has failed to win a majority in several plebiscites held in Puerto Rico, so, for the time being, there will be no star representing Puerto Rico.
When is Puerto Rico going to become a state?
Possibly this November if they vote to do so.
