If that person answers negatively, that person shall nonetheless identify the jurisdiction in which that person last voted.

(2) No registration clerk shall register any person except upon the person’s declaration under penalty of perjury that the person is a citizen of the United States who will be at least eighteen (18) years of age on the date of the next election to be conducted by the Commission, and that the person is a resident of Guam.

(3) The affidavit of registration form by the applicant

(J) the statement: “”Unlawful Registration is a Crime. Any person who willfully causes, procures or allows himself or herself or any person to be registered as a voter, knowing himself or herself or the other person not to be entitled to registration, is guilty of a felony of the third degree.””

(K) the signature of the applicant; and

(L) if the applicant is unable to sign the form, a statement that the affidavit was completed according to the applicant’s direction.

If the information provided by the affiant is not current at the time that the registration would otherwise become effective, the affiant must provide current information by any means authorized in this Chapter for persons eighteen (18) years of age or older for the affiant’s registration to become effective.

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person who is seventeen (17) years old on the date of a primary election and who is otherwise qualified to vote shall be qualified to vote at that primary, including voting as an absentee, during a grace period, or voting early with respect to that primary, if that person will be eighteen (18) years old on the date of the immediately following general election.

(2) All references to the requirement that a person must be eighteen (18) years old to vote shall be interpreted in accordance with this Section.
