[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 nonpartisan 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]
