Reporting of Name and Signing Roster

(a) A person desiring to vote shall state his or her full name and address to the precinct officials at the polling place and shall present a validly issued photo identification card issued by a federal, state, Guam secondary school, Guam post-secondary school or government of Guam entity to the precinct official or other authorized election official. (b) After verifying the person’s identity and determining that the person’s name appears as a registered voter on the precinct roster, the precinct officials shall clearly and loudly announce the person’s name. If no person challenges the person’s right to vote, or if, after a challenge, the precinct board determines that the challenged person is entitled to vote, the person shall be required to sign the roster and then be permitted to vote. In the case of a person who is unable to sign the roster, a precinct official shall so note that fact on the roster, and two (2) other precinct board members shall initial the entry. The person shall then be permitted to vote. Any person whose right to vote is denied by the precinct board may immediately appeal the decision to the Commission and, if unsuccessful, to the Superior Court of Guam. SOURCE: GC § 2381.
