Electoral system

Malta's Parliament can suddenly grow by 22 seats.

The Maltese Parliament is like a chameleon: it usually has 65 representatives, but this can change quickly. If a party wins the majority of votes but not the majority of seats, compensatory mandates are added. This allows the Parliament to expand to as many as 87 seats – a rarity found only in a few places around the world.

Why Malta chooses to vote the Irish way.

Malta uses the Single Transferable Vote system – a complex method that is only used by Ireland. Voters rank candidates by preference. If no one meets the quota, votes are transferred. This system aims to ensure fair representation, but it turns the counting process into a multi-day marathon.

13 electoral districts, 5 winners – Malta's mathematical wonder.

Malta is divided into 13 electoral districts, each electing exactly 5 representatives. This results in a base number of 65 seats. Interestingly, the electoral districts often follow historical municipal boundaries of the tiny island republic. Some districts are hardly larger than German neighborhoods, yet they hold the same influence.
Direct Election Members are elected directly by the people.
Candidate Vote Voters choose individual candidates directly.
Ranked Transfer Seats are allocated using ranked choice with transferable votes.
Ranked Choice Voters rank candidates and preferences are counted.
Free Elections are free, fair and competitive.
