Puerto Rico's Democratic primary was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 29, 2020, but the
Legislative Assembly and Governor
Wanda Vázquez signed legislation on March 21 for it to be postponed to April 26, amid concerns regarding the
COVID-19 pandemic in Puerto Rico.[2] On April 2, it was then postponed again with a new date to be determined later.[3] By May, it was rescheduled for July 12.[4]
The Puerto Rico primary is an open primary, with the territory awarding 59 delegates, of which 51 are pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
The
Republican Party of Puerto Rico held an online poll of party leaders on June 5, 2020, in lieu of an actual primary, awarding all 23 of its pledged delegates to the 2020 Republican National Convention to incumbent President
Donald Trump.[5][6]
