1902 Puerto Rican general election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General elections were held in Puerto Rico in 1902. Federico Degetau, who favored Puerto Rican statehood, was re-elected as Resident Commissioner.[1] These elections did not determine the island's governor, who served at the pleasure of the president until the election of Luis Muñoz MarÃn in 1948. Given Puerto Rico's householder franchise system, only propertied men above the age of 21 were able to participate.[2]
