The next election in Malta will be the election for The European Parliament, on Saturday 8th June 2024.
Malta has six members in the European Parliament. In total there are 705 members, all of which are up for election across the European Union.
Malta uses a form of proportional representation called the single transferable vote system. This means that voters rank the candidates in order of choice, and they can vote for as many or as few as they wish. The preferred candidate is given the number 1, the second most preferred candidate is given the number 2, the third is given the number 3, and so on.
