Guam Election Commission Releases Results of Non-Binding Presidential Straw Poll

The Guam Election Commission has published the unofficial results of its presidential straw poll, a non-binding race on its ballot asking Guam voters their choice among U.S. presidential candidates. This year’s straw poll featured seven presidential tickets.

As a territory of the United States, Guam has no electoral votes and it cannot directly impact the presidential election. However, it has formally conducted a straw poll in every presidential election since 1980. Presidential campaigns wishing to participate in the poll must submit a request to the Guam Election Commission.

Unofficial numbers released by the Guam Election Commission earlier today show that 27,314 of Guam’s 62,091 registered voters took part in the poll, with a plurality of them choosing the Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Straw poll results reflected in the summary are listed below:

In addition to the straw poll, Guam voters also selected a non-voting delegate to Congress and participated in several territorial and legislative elections. Results are contained within the same summary.

    Interesting. Trump (narrowly) lost the straw poll, despite the GOP carrying the Guam legislature. Apparently, that is, since neither result is official yet.

    Are there lots of “Never Trump”-Republicans in Guam? I thought warhawks typically tried to avoid getting stationed abroad, though I suppose there are plenty of safe desk job in Guam…
