This thing was divided in two things; one was if you would like to stay with the current status or change it. In the case of changing it you would have 3 options to vote, statehood, independence or something the PnP called sovereign commonwealth. The other main party (PPD) goes by the ideology of keeping the commonwealth as it is, this party was not represented in the plebiscite.
If you take a look at the total results from 1,730,245 voters 802,179 where pro statehood, now due to the way this thing was constructed both pro statehood and pro independence party goers are claiming a victory.
