The public record of changes
Changelog
Every reader-visible change to this site, newest first. Nothing is ever changed silently; the full edit history is public.
-
Published the candidate roster for the August 1, 2026 primary — every candidate who filed in the covered races (Governor & Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and the Legislature), drawn from the Guam Election Commission's candidate list. Every candidate appears with the same template and the same empty answers: no questionnaires have been sent yet, so every answer reads "awaiting reply." No answers are attached to any name. The Delegate to Congress is not a covered race: the eight questions concern local-government transparency, which Guam's non-voting federal Delegate has no authority over. A dated notice on the scoreboard states that the roster reflects the primary field, that the official GEC contact list has been requested but not yet received, and that the field narrows to the general-election candidates after the primary. Site copy that previously read "2026 general election" now reads "2026 elections" to cover both the primary and general phases.
-
Added the line "Presented with Kandit News" in two places, reflecting that Kandit News is now a partner on the project: as a quiet byline beneath the home-page introduction, and in the site-wide footer beneath the self-funding statement on every page. No other wording changed; the self-funding statement and the Disclosure, Methodology, Changelog, and public-history links read exactly as before.
-
Tightened site-wide whitespace and the footer. The landing hero and short pages (disclosure, page-not-found) no longer sit in oversized cards; the scoreboard chip key now appears once above all races instead of repeating inside each one; and the footer's "Source: this site's full history is public" line moved below the navigation links as a quiet footnote. All wording is unchanged — the disclosure statement, methodology, questions, and answers read exactly as before.
-
Three presentation fixes, no wording changed in the pledge questions, answers, methodology, or disclosure. The pledge page now opens with a short introduction (the same sentence used on the home page) and a note explaining that each question links to the law it builds on; the eight questions and their statute links are unchanged. On candidate pages, the answer marks now line up in one straight column regardless of label length. The footer was condensed to a single line so it takes less space; it still carries the self-funding statement and the Disclosure, Methodology, Changelog, and public-history links.
-
Added a permanent archived-copy link beside each statute citation (Internet Archive snapshots of 5 GCA Ch. 5, 8, and 10). The official links remain the primary source; the archive is a fallback so the citation never breaks if the source moves.
-
Updated the statute citation links. The Guam Compiler of Laws moved from guamcourts.gov/compileroflaws/ to col.guamcourts.gov; all three chapter PDFs (5 GCA Ch. 5, 8, 10) now point to the new verified locations. The cited laws and sections are unchanged.
-
Site-wide visual redesign: new look, layout, typeface (Merriweather), and spacing across every page. The question text, methodology, answers, and the no-response state are unchanged. Answer marks are now chips, and the dashed empty chip still marks a non-response.
