It is reported that after processing 91.35% of the votes for joining America, 56.82% of those who voted, 30.85% were in favor of the island's independence, 12.33% were in favor of expanded autonomy.

Back in 2017, about 97% of Puerto Rican residents supported the idea of turning the archipelago into a US state, Izvestia reminds.
