Can Puerto Ricans vote in the primaries and elections for US president?

Answer 1

No. They do hold primaries, as do the American Somoas, the American Virgin Islands and Guam, but residents of these territories (considered to be U.S. citizens) are not allowed to vote for president. They can vote if they move to the United States as many of them have.

Answer 2

Puerto Ricans can participate in the presidential primaries, but they cannot vote in the general election for President unless they reside in one of the 50 states or Washington D.C. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, so it does not have voting representation in Congress and its residents do not vote in the Presidential election.

Answer 3

If you are referring to voting in federal elections (for President or representation in Congress & the Senate), the answer is "No." The commonwealth, however, has its own government (much as state's do, though subject to Congress). Thus citizens of Puerto Rico can vote for their own Governor, representatives & Senators.

Answer 4

Residents of Puerto Rico can vote in the primaries, as do the American Samoas, the American Virgin Islands and Guam, but do not vote in the General Elections. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birthright, so if they reside on the mainland they can vote in the General Elections.

Answer 5

No. Puerto Ricans cannot vote in presidential elections. Even if a polular referendum were held in the territory, Puerto Rico does not have any delegates in the Electoral College which ultimately elects the President of the United States.

Answer 6

No. Puerto Rico is a territory that has no votes in the electoral college. Puerto Ricans are, however, US citizens from birth. So, if they move to the United States, they can vote in presidential elections.

Answer 7

Yes. Puerto Ricans are US citizens, and all US citizens over the age of 18 (without certain felonies on their record) can vote in federal and local elections.

Answer 8

If a Puerto Rican live in the states, YES! If the Puerto Rican live in Puerto Rico, NO!

Answer 9

They can not.

Answer 10

Yes they can.
