How many states in the US
There are fifty (50) states in the United States, including Washington, D.C. Alaska (49th) and Hawaii (50th) were the final two states to enter the Union (50th). In 1959, they both became members.
Washington, D.C. is a congressionally chartered federal district. A mayor and a 13-member municipal council administer the city. Residents of Washington DC have been eligible to vote in Presidential elections since 1961, and are represented in Congress by an elected, nonvoting Delegate to the House of Representatives.
Puerto Rico is a commonwealth that is part of the United States. Its native residents are all citizens of the United States. Puerto Ricans do not have the right to vote in presidential elections in the United States, but they do elect a nonvoting resident commissioner to the House of Representatives.
