According to Brave AI:

Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in U.S. federal elections, including
presidential and congressional elections, because Puerto Rico is a U.S.
territory and not a state.  Despite being U.S. citizens, people living on the
island do not have voting representation in Congress or in the Electoral
College. 

Puerto Ricans can vote in federal elections only if they reside in one of the
50 states or Washington, D.C. and are registered to vote there.  This applies
to all U.S. territories except American Samoa, where residents are U.S.
nationals but not automatically citizens. 

Political participation on the island is limited to local elections and party
primaries.  Puerto Rico elects a non-voting Resident Commissioner to the U.S.
House of Representatives and can send delegates to national party conventions,
but these roles do not include voting on federal legislation or presidential
elections.
