REVISION OF THE ELECTORAL REGISTERS

The Chief Electoral Commissioner notifies that the closing date for the publication of the forthcoming revision of the General Election, Local Councils and European Union Electoral Registers due in October is 30th September, 2026.

All Maltese and EU nationals aged 16 years or over whose name does not appear in the Electoral Registers published in April and May, 2026, and who have not since applied for registration as voters, should do so provided they have the necessary qualifications.  British citizens are entitled to be registered as voters in the Local Councils’ Electoral Register only.

It is in the interest of voters to verify that their personal particulars as shown in the April and May 2026 Registers are correct.  They should also verify that the house number or name, the street name as well as the I.D. Card number are shown correctly in the Register. 

Registered voters should notify the Electoral Office of any changes/corrections that are necessary.  Those persons wishing to apply for registration as voters or for a change/correction of surname and/or address in the Electoral Register, should do so by applying concurrently for their ID Card for Maltese nationals and Residence Card holders for EU and British nationals.  More information may be obtained from the Electoral Commission’s website (www.electoral.gov.mt) under the “FAQs” section.

All Maltese nationals’ applications must reach the Identità, Gattard House, National Road, Blata l-Bajda or The Tower, First Floor, Triq Fortunato Mizzi, Victoria, and for EU and British applications at the Expatriate Unit, Castagna Buildings, Valley Road, L-Imsida or Residence Card Unit, The Tower, First Floor, Triq Fortunato Mizzi, Victoria, Gozo, BY NOT LATER THAN 30TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.
