Nationalist Party (PN) Leader Alex Borg has officially submitted his nomination to contest the upcoming general election. Mr Borg will be running in both the 12th and 13th electoral districts. This step marks a formal entry into the electoral race for the PN leader.
During his campaign, Mr Borg put forward a proposal aimed at facilitating voting for Maltese citizens living overseas. He suggested that these citizens should be allowed to cast their votes at Maltese embassies in their respective countries of residence. This measure, he argued, would remove the current requirement for them to travel back to Malta to exercise their democratic right, making the process more accessible and convenient.
NET News reported that the public has responded positively to Mr Borg's campaign approach. The outlet highlighted that many people have praised his campaign for its positive tone and message, indicating a favourable reception among voters.
The proposal regarding overseas voting through embassies addresses a long-standing issue for many Maltese expatriates who face logistical and financial challenges in participating in national elections. This initiative aims to increase voter turnout among the diaspora and ensure broader representation.
