Puerto Rican Primaries: The Facts
Format: Caucus
When: June 1st
Delegates: 63
-36 of them will be in play in the June 1st primary. Another 12 delegates will be chosen in a convention to be held on June 21st. Also, in that convention, the delegates of the June 1st primary will be split. 7 political leaders or elected officials are chosen as well as superdelegates on June 21.
-The already chosen 7 superdelegates from Puerto Rico are:
1) Aníbal Acevedo Vilá (Governor of PR)
2) Roberto Prats (President of the Puerto Rico Democratic Party)
3) Kenneth McClintock (Senate Majority Leader)
4) Luissette Arrarás (Vice-President of the Puerto Rico Democratic Party)
5) Eliseo Roqués (Vice-President of the Democratic Party Hispanic Caucus)
6) Celita Arroyo de Roqués (National Comitteewoman)
7) Francisco Domenech (Memeber of the Democratic Party)

-The 63rd delegate will be chosen on Jun 21st, and won't support either candidate.

(There is a possibility that the Puerto Rican Caucuses are changed to a primary. Stay tuned...)
