Puerto Rico has three primary options for its future political status:

  1. Statehood: Puerto Rico could become the 51st state of the United States, giving its residents full voting rights and representation in Congress.

  2. Independence: Puerto Rico could pursue full independence from the United States, establishing itself as a sovereign nation.

  3. Enhanced Commonwealth: Puerto Rico could seek to maintain its Commonwealth status while negotiating for greater autonomy and more substantial local governance rights, potentially leading to a unique relationship with the U.S.
