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]

gollark: <@!456204633275236352> Please unclaim your Chorus City claim. It's an unused thing in a busy part of it and I need room for street sign control.
gollark: It is close enough.
gollark: Well, we could stream news direct to the street signs' spare pixels, but keanu complained.
gollark: If you didn't write one, I can just write my own inefficient priority queue thing, don't worry.
