The 2020 United States presidential straw poll in Guam was held on November 3, 2020.
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. 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.
The territory still participated in the
U.S. presidential caucuses and primaries like the other states and territories.
