Puerto Rico on Sunday suspended voting at polling places that ran out of ballots, with some officials calling for the resignation of the president of the territory’s elections commission.

The voting centers, which did not receive ballots by the early afternoon on Sunday, will have their primaries rescheduled, the election commission said.
