Overview

• President Joe Biden won the Democratic primary in Puerto Rico, capturing nearly 98% of the early vote.
• Biden's victory adds most of the 55 pledged delegates from Puerto Rico to his already substantial delegate count.
• The primary was held with significantly fewer voting centers this year due to austerity measures, limiting the number of locations to just 12.
• Despite their participation in primaries, residents of Puerto Rico cannot vote in the U.S. presidential general elections.
• The victory comes after Biden was declared the presumptive Democratic nominee last month, having secured the required delegates.
