Background
Following the end of the Japanese occupation of Guam, the Seventh Guam Congress, elected in 1939 was reconvened in March 1946.[2] In June Governor Charles Alan Pownall was asked to call fresh elections, with the electoral system modified to account for population changes caused by the war.[1]
Results
The elections saw Rosa Aguigui Reyes become the first woman elected to the Congress.[1]
Aftermath
The Eighth Guam Congress met for the first time in Agana on 10 August, using a Quonset hut.[1]
