I'm excited to share some information we've collected about the U.S. territories - whose population is equivalent to that of 5 U.S. states.

Dear John,

This summer, the Verifier team and I have added data for the five jurisdictions that often go unnoticed but make up part of our electorate — the U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While the U.S. territories do not have electoral votes to cast in the presidential election, their combined population is equivalent to that of the five least-populated U.S. states. They also have high turnout when voting in presidential primaries and elections for non-voting delegates to the U.S. Congress, in addition to elections for local government.


Visit the Verifier and click on any of the five U.S. territories to view the voting equipment, poll books, accessible equipment, or vendors for each jurisdiction. Because the territories do not cast votes in all federal elections, we’ve included a toggle switch for our “At A Glance” section so you have the option to include or exclude data from the territories in our summary calculations.

One of the things we like best about getting the most up-to-date information for the Verifier is talking with election officials and learning about their great work. If you want to know more about elections in the U.S. territories, including the challenges they faced during the pandemic and how some of their processes differ from the states, you can learn firsthand from a local election official: our latest “Spotlight on Election Officials” interview highlights Caroline Fawkes, the Supervisor of Elections in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

We’re constantly working on additions to our tools so we can keep bringing you accurate and inclusive data about our elections infrastructure — and the people behind the scenes making our elections run safely and securely. To keep this ongoing work up to date and free of charge, please consider a monthly contribution — or whatever you can give — today.


With thanks,
Megan Maier, Senior Research Associate
