<P> A referendum on the political status of Puerto Rico was held in Puerto Rico on June 11, 2017 . The referendum had three options: becoming a state of the United States, independence / free association, or maintaining the current territorial status . Those who voted overwhelmingly chose statehood by 97%; turnout, however, was 23%, a historically low figure . This figure is attributed to a boycott led by the pro-status quo PPD party . </P> <P> Four previous referendums have been held on the island to decide on its political status, the most recent in 2012 . Puerto Rico has been an unincorporated territory of the United States since the conclusion of the Spanish--American War in 1898, and its residents were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917 . </P> <P> Spain ceded Puerto Rico to the United States in 1898 as part of the Treaty of Paris after the end of the Spanish--American War . Since then, the island has been an unincorporated territory of the United States . Because of this territorial status, the island is neither a state of the United States nor a sovereign one . Although Puerto Ricans were granted United States citizenship with the 1917 Jones--Shafroth Act, the American citizens residing on the island cannot vote for the President of the United States (their head of government) nor for a legislator in Congress with voting powers even though the federal government of the United States has jurisdiction on the island . In addition, due to its political status, the United States has full authority over Puerto Rico's foreign policy . </P> <P> Legislation approving the referendum was passed in the Senate of Puerto Rico on January 26, 2017, by a senate controlled by the New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico (PNP In Spanish) which advocates for Puerto Rico to become a state of the United States . The measure was then passed with amendments by the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico on January 31 by a house which is also controlled by the PNP . The amendments then passed in the Senate and the bill was signed into law by Governor Ricardo Rosselló (PNP) on February 3, 2017 . </P>
