Closing date for the forthcoming revision of electoral registers published

The Chief Electoral Commissioner notfies the public that the closing date for the publication of the forthcoming revision of the general elections, local councils and European Union electoral registers, due in April, is 31 March 2018 .

All Maltese and EU nationals aged 16 or over whose names do not appear on the electoral register published in October 2017 and who have not since applied for registration as voters, should do so provided they have the necessary qualifications.

“It is in the interest of voters to verify that their particulars as shown on the October 2017 register are correct. They should also verify that the house number or name, the street name, as well as the ID card number are shown correctly on the register.”

Registered voters should notify the Electoral Office of any changes/corrections that are necessary. Those who wish to apply for registration as voters or for a change/correction of surname and/or address on the electoral register should do so by applying concurrently for their e-ID Card (Maltese nationals) or e-Residence Card (EU Nationals). More information may be obtained from the Electoral Commission’s website at www.electoral.gov.mt under the ‘FAQs’ section.

The Electoral Commission wishes to remind the general public of the online facility by means of which one may check if they are registered as a voter on the last published electoral register. To utilise this facility, one should visit the Electoral Commission’s website www.electoral.gov.mt under the ‘Publications’ section, and press the ‘Can I vote?’ button.

All Maltese nationals’ applications must be sent to Identity Malta Agency, Gattard House, National Road, Blata l-Bajda or 28A, St Francis Square, Victoria, while EU nationals’ applications, are to reach the Citizenship Department, Ground Floor, Evans Building, St Elmo Square, Valletta, or eResidence Card Unit, Ministry for Gozo, St Francis Square, Victoria, Gozo, by no later than 31 March, 2018.
