Can citizens in U.S. Territories vote for President? No, the Electoral College system does not provide for residents of U.S. Territories, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa to vote for President. Unless citizens in U.S. Territories have official residency (domicile) in a U.S. State or the District of Columbia (and vote by absentee ballot or travel to their State to vote), they cannot vote in the Presidential election. Note that prior to the adoption of the 23rd Amendment, DC residents could not vote in the Presidential election. The political parties may authorize voters in primary elections in Territories to select delegates to represent them at the political party conventions. But that process does not affect the Electoral College system.

Has a US president ever won a majority of votes from the whole electorate in a presidential election?
To clarify: I mean by the question, has any president ever attracted 50% of votes from **all eligible voters**? We know that turnout in US elections these days is very low by global standards, so even a president who wins 60% of the popular vote has only received perhaps 40% of the support of all eligible voters. But has it ever been thus? Could any president actually claim a mandate from a majority of all those legally entitled to vote?
