Voting in Malta: Don’t Miss Out, Here’s How to Collect Your Document

It’s that time of year again, Malta. The sun is shining, the sea is calling, and the political season is in full swing. But hold your horses, because if you haven’t received your voting document yet, you might just miss out on having your say. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s where to collect your voting document and ensure your voice is heard.

First Things First: Check Your Address

Before you start panicking, double-check that you’ve provided the correct address to the Electoral Commission. If you’ve moved recently, make sure you’ve updated your details. You can do this online on the Electoral Commission’s website. It’s a quick and easy process, and it could save you a trip.

Lost or Never Received Your Document? Here’s What to Do

Alright, so you’ve checked your address and you’re still without your voting document. Don’t stress, it happens. The Electoral Commission has set up collection points across Malta and Gozo to make sure everyone can get their hands on their document. Here’s where you can go:

• Malta: You can collect your document from the Regional Electoral Office in your district. Here are the addresses:
  • North: St. Paul’s Street, Rabat
  • South: Triq Il-Kunsill, Birkirkara
  • East: Triq Il-Palazz, Floriana
  • West: Triq Il-Kunsill, Qormi
• Gozo: The collection point on the sister island is at the Gozo Regional Electoral Office in Victoria.

Remember to bring a valid form of identification with you. Your ID card or passport should do the trick.

Last-Minute Tips

Here are a few more things to keep in mind:

• If you’re voting by post, make sure you’ve sent your completed document back by the deadline. It’s the 10th of June, so don’t leave it to the last minute.
• If you’re voting in person, polling stations will be open from 7 am to 10 pm on the 10th of June. Find your nearest station on the Electoral Commission’s website.
• If you’re still having trouble, don’t hesitate to contact the Electoral Commission’s helpline on 153.

So there you have it, Malta. No excuses now. Get out there, collect your document, and make your voice heard. After all, democracy is a beautiful thing, and it’s our duty to protect it.

As the wise Maltese saying goes, “Il-Ħelsien kienu ħajtna, u ħajtna huwa l-Ħelsien” – Freedom was ours, and ours is freedom. Let’s make the most of it.
