REVISED GENERAL ELECTIONS ELECTORAL REGISTER

The Electoral Commission reminds persons who, on the 31st March, 2016, were qualified to be registered as voters, of the importance of verifying that their name and particulars have been included in the revised electoral register published on the 27th April, 2016.

Persons who obtained Maltese Citizenship through naturalization or registration and certified dual nationals are entitled to be registered as voters in this register if, on the 31st March, 2016, they had the necessary qualifications in accordance with the Constitution of Malta and the General Elections Act (Chap. 354).  These persons are urged to verify their inclusion in this Electoral Register.

Any person whose name has not been included in this register, or whose particulars appearing in the Register need to be corrected, may appeal to the revising officer up to Wednesday 18th May, 2016, to have his/her name included in this register, notwithstanding that no prior application may have been made to the Commission for such purpose.  Persons intending to appeal to the Revising Officer may seek assistance at the Electoral Office, Merchants Street, Valletta or at the Identity Cards Office, 28A, St Francis Square, Rabat, Gozo.

The Electoral Commission wishes to remind the general public of the new on-line facility through which one may check if one is registered as a voter in the April 2016 electoral register.  To utilize this facility one needs to visit the Electoral Commission’s website (www.electoral.gov.mt) under the “Publications” section and pressing the “Can I vote?” button.
