Yes, they did vote on this issue during the Nov. 2012 elections. The results were the following:
In the first question, the mayority said they wanted to change their current status.
In the second question, the mayority responded towards statehood.
The results were found to be biased due to how the questions were manipulated for people to choose some options more than others, which made the US refute the referendum results.
There could be a new referendum in a near future.

What bennefits would Puerto Rico get if it was a state?
The largest benefit Puerto Rico would gain by being admitted to the union as a State is representation in government. Right now Puerto Rico has one non-voting representative in Congress, and no say in Presidential elections. With statehood, Puerto Rico would have about 6 voting representatives in the House, and 2 Senators along with about 8 Electoral votes in a presidential election. With Statehood, Puerto Rico would receive much more federal money for all sorts of social programs and infrastructure improvements. Puerto Rico would also have more control over its own ports and territory. On the other side of the coin, statehood would mean that Puerto Ricans would lose the federal income tax exemption. Puerto Ricans pay prenty of federal and local taxes, but are exempt from most federal income taxes right now. There is also a cultural argument against statehood. Puerto Ricans are very proud of their Spanish heritage and do not want lose it.

Puerto Rico to be or not to be a state?
Puerto Rico has three options on it's political status. Statehood, Commonwealth (Current), and Independence from the United States. The topic is very debated on the island as there are three political parties and each one has it's ideology. Also, Puerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking commonwealth/nation, and Puerto Ricans are very proud of their language because Puerto Rico speaks its own language called Puerto Rican Spanish which is different from Spaniard Spanish or Mexican Spanish. The major political party of Puerto Rico is the People's Democratic Party which seeks to remain a commonwealth. Puerto Ricans will go to vote in November 2012 to see if the current political status will be changed. The last plebiscite was in 1998 and Puerto Ricans voted to remain a commonwealth.
