A referendum on the status of the island was held in Puerto Rico on 23 July 1967.[1] Voters were given the choice between being a Commonwealth, statehood or independence. The majority of voters voted for Commonwealth status.[2][3]
The major pro-statehood party, the Partido Estadista Republicano, boycotted the referendum. As a result of its stance, several dissidents left the party to form the New Progressive Party.[4]
