The Malta Police Union in a statement, said that it notes the recent amendments to the General Elections Act, Chapter 354 of the Laws of Malta, enacted on the 25th January.

The Union said that these amendments will be subject to such terms and conditions as the Electoral Commission may deem fit, shall be entitled to cast his vote at the place indicated in sub-article (3)(a) between 7.00am and 10.00pm seven days before polling day.

The MPU stated that it “once again has not been informed, yet alone consulted by anyone on this matter.” The Union questioned “why Police Officers are once again being denied their full rights as citizens of this Country to vote after the electoral campaign closes, and after being given the time to reflect on their vote?”

The Union asked, “is the vote of Police Officers being considered more important than the person behind that voting document?”
