Residents who want to register to vote in the Sept. 4 Primary Election have until Aug. 25 to do so, according to the Guam Election Commission.

The American Red Cross

As of July 27, there were 46,875 registered voters, said GEC Director John Blas.

The last gubernatorial election in 2006 had 55,311 people registered to vote, according to Pacific Daily News files.

To register at the GEC office, you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Guam for at least 30 days and at least 18 years old. You mustn’t be: a convict; confined to a mental institution; or judicially declared insane.

As of Aug. 13, residents could register at their village mayors’ offices. The village-level registration drive will continue through Aug. 25, from 4 to 8 p.m.

Since early, in-office voting started Aug. 5, more than 500 people have cast their ballots at the GEC office in Hagåtña, Blas said.

“Things have been pretty active here. We find that encouraging,” Blas said.

The director also said he was confident all the precinct official posts will be filled in the coming days.

The Primary Election is a party election, and voters will choose which candidates from the Democratic or Republican parties they want to advance to the General Election, set for Nov. 2.

Residents will be voting for governor, senator, congressional delegate and Agat vice mayor.

We can already strike Jonathan B. Diaz right off the list. He presented himself publicly as having a masters degree in unionism and took a job with the GFT. He spoke of how his formal education in Unions would benefit GFT members. NOT TRUE! His dgree is in union theology and relates the christian religion. It has nothing to do with Unions in the manner he attempted to mislead us all. He is dishonest, he has already attempted to mislead us and he is in bed with Rector. NO Way I am voting for any Rector supporters this time around and he has done nothing for GFT members except hurt the organization. ESTA DIAZ!

I am registered to vote and have been for decades. I vote in all general and special elections. I do not vote in party primary elections since I am not a card-carrying party member.

I also object to public funds being used for the benefit of political party organizations. Let the parties pay for their own activities. Or let the primary elections be truly open elections.
