Puerto Rico Democratic Self Determination Act enables Puerto Ricans to choose their political status through a plebiscite.

The Puerto Rico Democratic Self Determination Act allows the people of Puerto Rico to determine their political status through a plebiscite. If a majority votes for sovereignty in free association with the United States, a Bilateral Negotiating Commission will negotiate Articles of Free Association. The act outlines the process for a constitutional convention, plebiscites, and the transition to a new status, including statehood or independence. It also details the continuity of laws, government, and obligations, and the role of the United States in the transition.
