Guam does not participate in the 2020 presidential election because it is a territory and not a state. To draw attention to this fact, the territory conducts a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election as if they did elect members to the Electoral College.[1] Because Guam is 15 hours ahead of the mainland, the poll is regarded as an indicator of how the rest of the country will vote.[2]

The territory still participated in the U.S. presidential caucuses and primaries like the other states and territories.[3] Incumbent President Donald Trump won the territory's Republican caucuses on March 14, while former vice president Joe Biden won the Democratic caucuses on June 6.

The 2020 Guam Democratic presidential caucuses were held June 6, 2020, in the Democratic Party presidential primaries for the 2020 presidential election.[4] They were originally scheduled to take place on May 2, but was postponed due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Guam.[5][6][7] The Guam caucuses are a closed caucus, with the territory awarding 11 delegates, of which 6 are pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the caucuses.[5]

When the Guam Democratic Party published its draft delegate selection plan on July 7, 2019, it specified a May 2 date for the 2020 caucuses.[6]

Voting is expected to take place between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m, with results released shortly after.[7] In the closed caucuses, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent across the territory to be considered viable. The 6 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the caucuses. Of the 6 pledged delegates, all 6 are at-large pledged delegates.[5][8]

The 6 pledged delegates Guam sends to the national convention will be joined by 5 unpledged PLEO delegates (4 members of the Democratic National Committee and nonvoting delegate Michael San Nicolas).[5]

Results

On June 6, Joe Biden won the caucuses in Guam, pushing him over the delegate threshold to formally secure the Democratic Party nomination.[4]

The 2020 Guam Republican presidential caucuses took place at the Guam Republican Convention on March 14, 2020, in the Republican Party presidential primaries for the 2020 presidential election. The 9 delegates to the 2020 Republican National Convention are unpledged. The Guam Republican Convention officially endorsed incumbent President Donald Trump, and thus all 9 delegates are expected to vote for him at the national convention.[12][13]

November advisory vote

Though the votes of Guam residents do not count in the November general election, the territory nonetheless conducts a presidential straw poll to gauge islanders' preference for president every election year. The poll has been held in Guam during every presidential election since 1980.[14]
