How Guam is different.
Guam is a territory, not a state.
Its foundational law is the Organic Act — a federal law from 1950 — not a locally ratified constitution.
The race is nonpartisan.
No party label on the ballot. You choose on qualifications, not party.
One office does it all.
Most states split prosecution and government law between offices. On Guam, both live here.
Your vote here counts more.
Guam cannot vote for president or U.S. senators. But it does elect its Attorney General — one of the most direct votes Guamanians have.
