As commonwealth citizens, Puerto Ricans elect their own officials but they do not:

pay federal income tax and do not vote in U.S. national elections

have ownership of their property and do not own their own homes.

become subject to the draft and do not receive partial welfare benefits.

form their own political parties and do not have a minimum voting age.
