[edit] Background

In Guam, elections to the Legislature and multi-member boards are run via open primary (This following the outlawing of the previous blanket primary^[1]) similar to Louisiana.

Both the Public Auditor^[2] and Consolidated Commission on Utilities^[3] are required to be nonpartizan and as such candidates are not allowed to state affiliations or list them on the ballot.

In the case of the Auditor, affiliating with a party is grounds for disqualification.^[4]
