TODAY is the deadline for residents who are interested in becoming voter or volunteer registrars at their respective mayors' offices.
Guam Election Commission Executive Director Maria Pangelinan said today is also the day district registration starts.
“It’s when the registration takes place at the mayors’ offices from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said Pangelinan, adding individuals selected to be voter registrars will be paid the minimum wage.
The registrars will not only be registering residents to vote in the primary, but also Native Inhabitants of Guam for the Decolonization Registry.
To qualify, a registrar must be a registered voter of Guam; not be holding an elective office; not be a candidate for office; and not be an immediate relative of an elected official or candidate. Immediate relative includes a mother, father, son, daughter, wife, husband and/or in-law.
In addition, a registrar must also be able to follow instructions; be able to attend an instructional seminar; be able to pass a standardized examination of the election laws; and not be a director or deputy director of the executive branch, administrative director or assistant administrative director of the legislative or judicial branch.
Meanwhile, the deadline to register to vote in the primary election is Aug. 22.
