Toa Baja - Republican Party members in Puerto Rico awarded all 20 delegates at stake on Sunday to Arizona Senator John McCain, who has vowed to help resolve Washington's complicated relationship with the US Caribbean territory.

The at-large delegates will each cast one vote at the Republican National Convention.

Three "super-delegates," who are not bound by Sunday's results, also have pledged to back McCain.

In a letter to Luis Fortuno, Puerto Rico's nonvoting congressional delegate and a super-delegate, McCain pledged to support a process that would enable Puerto Ricans to decide if they wanted to remain a commonwealth, become a state or an independent nation.

"The people of Puerto Rico deserve a process of self-determination and a congressionally defined referendum that gives them a fair and unambigious choice among status options," McCain wrote.

"That is one of the many important things that we will accomplish together."
