- A total of 22,333 voting documents remain uncollected for the upcoming election.
- The Commission also confirmed that 18,622 new voters have registered.

The Electoral Commission has issued a reminder to all eligible voters who have not yet collected their voting documents. These documents must be collected in person by Thursday, 28 May, ahead of the upcoming general election.

According to details provided by Chief Electoral Commissioner Joseph Camilleri during a press briefing at the Naxxar Counting Hall, a significant number of voting documents, specifically 22,333, are still uncollected.

In addition to the uncollected documents, the Commission also announced that 18,622 new voters have been registered for the election. This figure highlights the ongoing engagement in the democratic process.

Voters are urged to ensure they collect their documents within the stipulated timeframe to be able to cast their vote. The Commission stressed the importance of this step for participation in the electoral process.

The Electoral Commission has issued a specific appeal to voters registered in Gozo who intend to collect their voting documents in Malta, and vice-versa. They are urged to submit their written requests as soon as possible.

This instruction aims to ensure that all necessary arrangements can be made efficiently for voters who need to collect their documents from a different island than where they are registered.
