Malta: How to Collect Missing Voting Document
Election Day Nerves? Here’s How to Get Your Voting Document in Malta
It’s the day before local council elections, and you’re suddenly hit with a wave of panic. You can’t find your voting document. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to collect it, just in time for election day.
First Things First: Check Your Mail Again
Before you start panicking, double-check your mail. Sometimes, documents can get lost in the shuffle. If you’re still coming up empty, it’s time to take action.
Contact Your Local Council
Your first port of call should be your local council. They’re the ones responsible for sending out voting documents. Here’s how to get in touch:
- Valletta Local Council: Call on 2122 2101 or email valletta.localcouncil@gov.mt
- Birkirkara Local Council: Call on 2142 2101 or email birkirkara.localcouncil@gov.mt
- St. Julian’s Local Council: Call on 2133 2101 or email stjulians.localcouncil@gov.mt
If you’re not sure which council you fall under, you can check the Local Councils page on the Government of Malta website.
Visiting the Council Office
If you can’t reach them by phone or email, or if you need your document urgently, visit your local council office. Here are the addresses:
- Valletta Local Council: 75, Republic Street, Valletta
- Birkirkara Local Council: 12, Triq il-Kbira, Birkirkara
- St. Julian’s Local Council: 107, Triq il-Mediterran, St. Julian’s
Remember to bring a valid form of identification with you. This could be your ID card, passport, or driving license.
What If You’re Still Having Trouble?
If you’ve tried all the above and you’re still having trouble, don’t give up. You can contact the Electoral Commission directly. Here’s how:
- Phone: 2122 1800
- Email: info@electoral.gov.mt
- Address: 19, Triq il-Labour, Santa Venera
They’re open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday. On election day, they’re open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
So, there you have it. No need to panic. Your voting document is just a phone call or a visit away. Now, go out there and make your voice heard!
