Electoral Register published in the Government Gazette

The Electoral Commission has notified the general public that a revised Electoral Register on which the general election, due on 3 June, is based has been published in the Government Gazette of 6 May.

Anyone eligible to be registered as a voter in accordance with the provisions of the General Elections Act (Cap.354), on the closing date 1 May 2017, and whose name has not been included in the Register, and every voter whose designation, address or other particulars have not been shown correctly has, according to Articles 39 and 42 of the General Elections Act, up to Saturday, 20 May to appeal to a Revising Officer to have one’s name included or one’s particulars corrected in the Electoral Register. Any registered voter who: 1) Desires, for any lawful reason, to remove from the register the name of any person for want of the requisite qualification; or

2) Claims that the respective designation, address or other particulars are not correctly shown in the register can also submit an appeal to a Revising Officer to this effect in accor- dance with Articles 40 and 42 of the General Elections Act, up to Saturday, 20 May.

Any person desiring to appeal to a Revising Officer may seek assistance at the Electoral Office. The attention of the general public is drawn to the importance of verifying their inclusion in the Electoral Register. Failure to do so may result in the loss of a person’s entitle- ment to vote in the General Election, due to be held on Saturday, 3 June.

The General Elections register can be viewed at the Electoral Office. However, one may check if one is registered as a voter in this register through the online facility on the Electoral Commission’s website, www.electoral.gov.mt, under the ‘Publications’ section and by pressing the ‘Can I vote?’ button.
