General elections were held in Guam on 7 November 2006 in order to elect the Governor, all 15 seats in the Legislature and the federal delegate. There was also a double referendum on legalise slot machines at racing tracks and raising the age at which citizens could purchase and consume alcohol to 21.[1][2]
Whilst Felix Perez Camacho of the Republican Party was re-elected as Governor, the Democratic Party won a majority of seats in the Legislature. Madeleine Bordallo was re-elected as the territory's federal delegate, whilst both referendum questions were rejected.
Background
In Guam, elections to the Legislature and multi-member boards are run via open primary (This following the outlawing of the previous blanket primary similar to Louisiana.

In the case of the Auditor, affiliating with a party is grounds for disqualification.
