Answer:

Territory citizens can vote and run for office in the U.S. jurisdiction in which they live. Residents in some territories, like Puerto Rico, can vote in primaries but not the general election. Also, territories are not represented in Congress. The State Department uses the term insular area for U.S. territories.
