   According to Brave AI:   
      
   Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in U.S. federal elections, including   
   presidential and congressional elections, because Puerto Rico is a U.S.   
   territory and not a state.  Despite being U.S. citizens, people living on the   
   island do not have voting representation in Congress or in the Electoral   
   College.    
      
   Puerto Ricans can vote in federal elections only if they reside in one of the   
   50 states or Washington, D.C. and are registered to vote there.  This applies   
   to all U.S. territories except American Samoa, where residents are U.S.   
   nationals but not automatically citizens.    
      
   Political participation on the island is limited to local elections and party   
   primaries.  Puerto Rico elects a non-voting Resident Commissioner to the U.S.   
   House of Representatives and can send delegates to national party conventions,   
   but these roles do not include voting on federal legislation or presidential   
   elections.
