Guam - Guam Election Commission member John Terlaje turned in his resignation to the board this afternoon. Terlaje expressed to board members that he could no longer devote more time to being on the board. Newly elected GEC chair Alice Taijeron says they will be putting an announcement out soon for the Democrat position.

She says this now places the board's efforts to select its seventh member on hold until a replacement for Terlaje is secured. This now leaves five remaining members with Martha Ruth now serving as GRC vice chair.
