On polling day, which is going to be held at the Gozo General Hospital including Downtown, on Thursday, the 24th of March, no visitors will be allowed inside except between 7pm and 8pm.

The Commission also urged relatives of patients (who were there and registered as patients up until 6pm on Monday, the 21st of March) that if they are in possession of the patient’s voting document, they are to immediately take it to the patient to enable him/her to vote at the hospital on Thursday, “otherwise they would be effectively denying that person’s right to vote.”

The Electoral Commission said that on the advice of the hospital authorities, it may issue permits outside those stipulated visiting hours for relatives of patients who are very seriously ill and will have the discretion to decide on the number of relatives allowed at any one time.
