Voter Registration Information
The 1998 Higher Education Act requires all postsecondary institutions to make a good faith effort to distribute voter registration information to all students. As a result, we are providing the following information about voter registration. We hope that you find this information to be useful. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Registering to Vote on Guam
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 be a resident of Guam;
- 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 citizen of the United States;
- Must not be judicially declared incompetent;
- Must not be committed under a sentence of imprisonment; and
- Must not be confined to a mental institution.
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.
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 (241 Farenholt Ave.) 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.

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.
