The Puerto Rican parties are as follows:

  Acción Cristiana (AC),   Alianza Puertorriqueña (AP),   Coalición* (C),   Estadista (E),   Estadista Puertorriqueño (EP),   Estadista Republicano (ER),   Puerto Rican Independence (PIP),   Liberal (L),   Movimiento Unión Soberanista (MUS),   Nonpartisan (NP),   New Progressive Party (PNP),   Popular Democratic Party (PPD),   People's Party (P),   Working People's Party (PT/PPT),   Puertorriqueños por Puerto Rico (PPR),   Republicano Puertorriqueño (RP),   Socialista Obrero (SO),   Socialist (PSP),   Unionist (U), and   Unión Republicana Progresista (URP).
*Coalición was an electoral coalition, not a party.

For a particular year, the noted partisan composition is that which either took office during that year or which maintained the office throughout the entire year. Only changes made outside of regularly scheduled elections are noted as affecting the partisan composition during a particular year. Shading is determined by the final result of any mid-cycle changes in partisan affiliation.
