Puerto Rico is currently not a state, but a commonwealth within the US. In the 2012 elections, Puerto Rico held a referendum where they were given the choice to keep their current status, become independent, or become a state. Puerto Rico voted to become a state, but it is now up to Congress to decide. It is likely that it will not pass, however.
