Claim: The 2020 Puerto Rico status referendum posed a simple yes-or-no question on statehood; statehood was approved by 52.5% of voters on a turnout of 55%. As with all prior Puerto Rico status referendums, any resulting change to the island's political status would require action by the United States Congress, meaning the vote itself was non-binding.
