General elections are scheduled to be held in Malta by 2022, when the parliament elected in 2017 reaches the end of its five year term. However, the elections may be held sooner if a government loses a motion of no confidence or chooses to call a snap election.

Electoral system

Members of Parliament are elected from 13 five-seat constituencies by single transferable vote. Candidates who pass the Hagenbach-Bischoff quota in the first round are elected and any surplus votes transferred to the remaining candidates, who will be elected if this enables them to pass the quotient. The lowest ranked candidates are then eliminated one-by-one with their preferences transferred to other candidates, who are elected as they pass the quotient, until all five seats are filled.[1]

If a party wins a majority of first preference votes but fails to achieve a parliamentary majority, they are awarded seats to ensure a one-seat majority, if they are one of only two parties to obtain seats.[1]

Expressing a preference

The values in the table below are derived by removing non-party responses (i.e. non-voters, "don't know", and "no reply"); as the margin is also recalculated, there may be slight differences in exact lead margins due to rounding.
