Guam elects on the territorial level a governor and a legislature with the governor elected for a four-year term by the people. The Legislature of Guam has fifteen members elected at large in an open primary for two year terms.
The island also holds both Democratic and Republican presidential caucuses every election year, and conducts a presidential straw poll to coincide with the U.S. general election, even though Guam's votes do not officially count in presidential races.
Hillary Clinton received nearly 60% of the vote in Guam's Democratic Primary, yielding her nine out of the island's 12 delegates. Donald Trump won all of Guam's nine delegates in the GOP caucus.
Clinton won the straw poll conducted in November. It was the first time since 1984 that Guam's straw poll failed to predict the results of the electoral vote on the mainland.
Democrats retained control of Guam's legislature with 10 seats and Republicans got 5 seats.
