I’m a bit confused as to why all these island nations have a say in our primary process, yet are not allowed to vote in the general election. Seems odd to me. Curious.

Only States and DC are Constitutionally eligible to vote for President and Vice President (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, 12th Amendment, and 23rd Amendment). The Democratic and Republican parties allow territories to vote in their respective nomination processes.
