An undervote occurs when the number of choices selected by a voter in a contest is less than the maximum number allowed for that contest or when no selection is made for a single choice contest.[1] An undervote can be intentional for purposes including protest votes, tactical voting or abstention. Alternately undervotes can be unintentional and caused by many factors including poor ballot design. Undervotes combined with overvotes (known as residual votes) can be an academic indicator in evaluating the accuracy of a voting system when recording voter intent.[2]

Whatallows puerto citizens to petition the US for statehood?
The US Constitution says:Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States…" -- U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 3, clause 2The only restriction in the Constitution is that a new state cannot be formed from the territory of another state without that state's consent. But then there's West Virginia, but that's another story.Essentially Congress can make the rules as they go along. The Constitution does not say that the rules have to be the same for everybody.Typically the following conditions must be met for statehood:--Population of the territory nust be 50,000 (not enforced when Nevada became a state)--The people of the territory must vote to petition Congress for statehood. A simple majority is needed to be considered.--The Territory must have a form of self government and adopt a state constitution (if it doesn't already have one)Puerto Rico has met two of the three requirements, but the people have yet to vote (simple majority) to petition for statehood. The several plebiscites held over the last 50 years have all narrowly favored commonwealth status and in the last election "none of the above" narrowly (by just over 1%) beat out Statehood.
Why did Puerto Rico vote to not be your 51st state?
In the last plebiscite held on November 6, 2012, the election results showed that, of the people that voted on the question, over 60% preferred statehood to the other options. This was the first time statehood came out ahead in five attempts since 1967. The issue was complicated due to what some consider confusing ballot language and the two stage question posed. The first question on the 11/6/12 ballot asked if one wanted to keep the current political status Puerto Rico holds in the US. Most voted no. The second question asked what political status one preferred. Statehood won handily, but the undervote suggests that many of the people who voted yes on the first question did not vote on the second question due to confusion, since the current status was not an option on the second question. The population of Puerto Rico is evenly divided whether to keep the current status (or enhance autonomy without breaking from the US completely), and statehood. Only about 4% of the population is actually for complete independence from the United States. To answer the question "why not be a state?" is pretty complicated. Many of those that want to keep status quo feel there is no advantage to statehood, and there could be an erosion of the Spanish culture, and language that makes Puerto Rico unique. Others feel the loss of certain federal tax breaks are not worth the change in status. Puerto Rico enjoys a certain amount of autonomy that some feel would be lost if it became a state. There are many arguments for statehood, including representation in the US Congress (about 6 Reps + 2 senators) and electoral votes for President of the US. But those against statehood feel this is not enough to offset the negatives.
