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.

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.

When to register
Voter registration is open year-round in non-election years. During election years, voter registration closes ten 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.
