Guam's polling sites open at 7 a.m. Tuesday for the midterm election. According to the Guam Election Commission, more than 62,000 are registered to vote.
This year's election will decide if Guam's nonvoting congressional seat will be retained by the Republican Party or regained by the Democratic Party of Guam.
James Moylan, the incumbent Republican, is challenged by his Democratic opponent, Ginger Cruz.
Moylan was the first Republican to be elected Guam delegate in 30 years. He succeeded Michael San Nicolas, who did not seek another term in Congress in 2022 and decided to run for governor instead.
Today's election will also determine if the Democratic Party retains the majority control of the 38th Guam Legislature.
The Democratic Party of Guam holds majority control of the 37th Guam Legislature. Eight incumbent Democrats and six Republicans are seeking reelection.
Neither party has completed the 15-spot slate. All candidates from the August primary who received more than the 4 percent vote threshold to advance to the general elections have made it to the November race.
