Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States. On various occasions there has been enough support to hold free elections as to whether its people wish to remain politically connected to the US or not. So far there has not been any significant efforts to change Puerto Rico's status as a US commonwealth. Should there be a movement to change its status from a commonwealth to a US state, then free elections will be held. If the citizens of Puerto Rico vote to seek statehood, then the laws that govern statehood would need to be applied. If so, it would become the 51st state of the US.
