REGISTERING TO VOTE



Who can register to vote?

An individual must meet the following qualifications as provided in 3 GCA § 3101
& 3102 to be a registered voter on Guam:

 * Must not be confined to a mental institution;
 * Must not be judicially declared incompetent;
 * Must not be committed under a sentence of imprisonment;
 * Must be a citizen of the United States;
 * Must be 18 years of age by the day set for an election (every person that
   meets all eligibility requirements to register and is sixteen (16) years of
   age or older, may preregister to vote); and
 * Must be a resident of Guam.

Preregistration

Pursuant to 3 GCA § 3102(c), sixteen (16) year olds can pre-register to vote by
completing an Affidavit of Registration. Individuals who pre-register to vote
will be added to the voter listing when they turn eighteen (18).

Individuals who are seventeen (17) years old on the date of a primary election
and will turn eighteen (18) on or before the date of the general election
immediately following are qualified to vote in that election cycle. They can
register to vote and vote in both the primary and general elections of that
calendar year.

Rules for Determining Residency

3 GCA § 9123 provides that each person’s residency shall be determined
individually; that is, no person’s residency shall conclusively determine the
residency of that person’s spouse or child. The Commission shall not register
any applicant who fails to provide sufficient information for it to determine
residency. The following rules shall determine the residency of voters,
candidates and nominees:

 1. The residency of a person is that place where that person lives for a period
    of at least thirty (30) days, maintains that person’s home and to which,
    whenever that person is absent, that person has the bona fide intention to
    return. For voting purposes, a person may have only one (1) residence.
    Indicia of residence on Guam shall include, but not be limited to, payment
    of Guam personal income taxes, maintaining a home or other living
    accommodation on Guam, having temporarily departed Guam with the intention
    of returning, and not being registered to vote in any other U.S.
    jurisdiction since departing Guam.
 2. A person does not gain residency on Guam, or any voting district, from which
    that person comes unless that person intends to establish a permanent
    dwelling place within Guam, or such voting district.
 3. If a person resides with one’s family in one (1) place, and does business or
    maintains real property in another place, the former is that person’s place
    of residence; but any person having a family, who establishes one’s own
    dwelling place other than with one’s family, with the intention of remaining
    there, shall be considered a resident where that person established such
    dwelling place.
 4. The mere intention to acquire a new residence without physical presence at
    such place does not establish residency.
 5. A person does not obtain or lose residency solely by reason of that person’s
    presence or absence while employed in the services of the United States, or
    of the government of Guam, or while a student at an institution of learning,
    or while kept in an institution, a hospital, or asylum, or while confined in
    prison.
 6. A person loses one’s residency in Guam if that person registers to vote or
    votes in an election held in a place other than Guam.
 7. A person who is registered to vote in another U.S. jurisdiction may not vote
    on Guam until the Commission has transmitted an affidavit to said
    jurisdiction requesting that person’s name to be removed from such election
    roll. The Commission shall provide affidavit forms for the removal of names
    of voters from the election rolls of other U.S. jurisdictions. For purposes
    of establishing residency in a district or municipality, a person shall be
    domiciled in that district or municipality for at least thirty (30) days
    immediately prior to the election. For voting purposes, a person shall have
    only one (1) place of domicile.

Where to register

You may register to vote by completing an Affidavit of Registration at the Guam
Election Commission, 2nd Floor, Ste. 202 of the Oka Building in Tamuning. You
may also register to vote with a Volunteer Voter Registrar, at any village
Mayor’s Office, or a public high school or college campus, when a registrar is
available.

When to register

Voter registration is open year-round in non-election years. During election
years, voter registration closes ten business days prior to each Election Day
(Primary and General) and reopens the first business day following Election Day.

Updating your Voter Registration Record

Once registered, you do not need to register again unless you fail to vote in
two consecutive General Elections. If you move to a new village, you must
transfer your voting district by completing a new Affidavit of Registration.
Please note that transferring between Primary and General elections is
prohibited. If your name changes, you must update your information with the GEC
by completing a new Affidavit of Registration. Failure to update your voter
registration record will cause delays in the voting process on Election Day. You
may contact the GEC at any time in the year if you have any questions or think
your voter registration record requires an update.
