The Electoral Commission announced that voter turnout during Thursday’s voting session for the 2026 General Election reached approximately 83.64% by 10pm.
According to figures released by the Commission, 1,143 registered voters were eligible to cast their ballot during Thursday’s special voting arrangements, with 956 votes ultimately submitted.
The voting session formed part of the final preparations ahead of tomorrow’s General Election, when polling stations across Malta and Gozo will officially open for voting.
Meanwhile, 15,312 voting documents were still uncollected as of Thursday evening, just hours before the country heads to the polls.
The Electoral Commission had earlier urged voters to collect their voting documents before Thursday’s midnight deadline, after which no further documents could be issued.
Polling stations are set to open tomorrow morning as Malta prepares for another closely watched General Election, with vote counting expected to begin on Sunday at the Naxxar Counting Hall.
