Elections in Guam |
---|
The 1980 United States presidential straw poll in Guam was the first presidential straw poll held in Guam on November 4, 1980. [1] Guam is a territory and not a state. Thus, it is ineligible to elect members of the Electoral College, who would then in turn cast direct electoral votes for president and for vice president. [2] To draw attention to this fact, the territory conducts a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election as if they did elect members to the Electoral College. [3]
Democratic Party nominee and incumbent president Jimmy Carter won the poll with over 55% of the vote.
Though the votes of Guam citizens do not count in the November general election, the territory nonetheless conducts a presidential straw poll to gauge islanders' preference for president every election year. The poll has been held in Guam during every presidential election since 1980. [1]
The voters had the option between four candidates, then Democratic incumbent president Jimmy Carter, Republican Ronald Reagan, former- Republican challenger to Ronald Reagan independent candidate John B. Anderson and libertarian candidate Edward Clark.
The election had 97.3% valid votes, with 2.7% of them being invalid. [4] The votes overwhelmingly favored Jimmy Carter, with Ronald Reagan coming second.
