Guam will not participate in the November 8, 2016 general election because it is a territory and not a state. However, the five non-incorporated territories that send Delegates to the House of Representatives will participate in the presidential primaries.
In the presidential primaries, Guam voters will express their preferences for the Democratic and Republican parties' respective nominees for President. Registered members of each party may only vote in their party's primary, while voters who are unaffiliated may choose any one primary in which to vote.

November Straw Poll
Though the votes of Guam citizens do not count in the November general election, the territory will nonetheless conduct a straw poll to gauge islanders' preference for president in 2016. The poll has been held in Guam during every presidential election since 1984.[2] The outcome of the poll has correctly predicted the results of the mainland election in every instance.[2]
