The Electoral Commission has said that it will receive requests up to Friday, 6 May 2011, from bona fide organisations and groups who wish to observe the counting of ballot papers from within the area provided for candidates and agents in the building where counting of ballot papers takes place, from Saturday, 28 May 2011, during the referendum vote counting process at the Mediterranean Conference Centre.

The Electoral Commission will evaluate all requests and, after taking into account the space available and the security requirements at the Counting Hall, the Electoral Commission will decide upon the quantitative participation of each accepted organisation and group.

The decision of the Electoral Commission will be final.
