2020 Guam presidential caucuses

When the Guam Democratic Party published its draft delegate selection plan on July 7, 2019, it had originally specified a May 2 date for the 2020 caucuses, but they were postponed to June 6 and completely held as a drive-through "Special Election and Caucus" at Adelup Breezeway in the capital Hagåtña, using unusual paper ballots for the presidential preference, due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Guam. They thereby took place on the same day as the caucuses on the Virgin Islands, which had regularly been planned for that date.[4][5]

In the closed caucuses, candidates had to meet a threshold of 15 percent across the territory to be considered viable. The 7 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the caucuses. Of these, all 7 were at-large pledged delegates.[4][5] Originally planned with 6 delegates, the final number included a 20% bonus of 1 additional delegate on the original number of 6 delegates by the Democratic National Committee due to the original May date, which belonged to Stage III on the primary timetable.[6][7]

The 7 pledged delegates Guam sent to the national convention were joined by 6 unpledged PLEO delegates (4 members of the Democratic National Committee, House of Representatives nonvoting delegate Michael San Nicolas and the governor Lou Leon Guerrero).[4]

As participants would originally have advocated their support for a candidate during the caucus without any secret ballot, candidates did not need to qualify for ballot access (making it the only other contest beside Iowa to do so).[8] The so-called "special election" finally held because of the pandemic, used paper ballots and included on them the two remaining national candidates that were still seeking delegates.[5]
