Guam residents do not vote in the main elections however, the island nation will send eight delegates with half a vote each to the Democratic convention in August, giving it a total of four votes.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are racing to win representative of the Democrats to run against Republican candidate, John McCain, in the United States presidential election to be held in November this year.
