The 2020 New Progressive Party primaries will be the primary elections by which voters of the New Progressive Party (PNP) will chose its nominees for various political offices of Puerto Rico for 2020. The primaries, originally scheduled for June 2020, were delayed until August 9, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The August 9 elections, however, were marred by a lack of ballots leading a suspension of the election; polling locations that could not open on August 9 are scheduled to be open for voting on August 16.[1]
