Guam - Two of Guam's largest - and therefore statistically most significant - municipalities were the first villages to have their ballots tabulated for the Decision 2010 Special Election. After the polls officially closed at 8pm Saturday, the Guam Election Commission ran a smooth tabulation session at the University of Guam Field House in Mangilao.

Special Election Results so far (20 of 58 precincts accounted for, including Yona, Ordot-Chalan Pago, Mongmong-Toto-Maite, Barrigada, Mangilao, Dededo):

Ada, Tony (49%)
Thomas-Nededog, Sarah (20%)
Benavente, Martin (10%)
De Oro, Art (8%)
Aguon, Roque (7%)
Sarminento, William (6%)

Historically Dededo, by virtue of the mammoth number of registered voters that live in the island's most populous village, is among the last regions to be accounted for.
