    MALTA Date of Elections: 9 May 1987 Purpose of Elections Elections Were

    y MALTA Date of Elections: 9 May 1987 Purpose of Elections Elections were held for all the seats in Parliament on the normal expiry of the members' term of office. Characteristics of Parliament The unicameral Parliament of Malta, the House of Representatives, is composed of 69 members* elected for 5 years. The Speaker of the House is elected either from within the House or from outside from among persons who are qualified for election as members. Electoral System All Maltese citizens who have attained the age of 18 years and are residing in the country, and who, during the 18 months immediately preceding their registration as electors, have been resident for a continuous period of six months, or for periods amounting in the aggregate to six months, are entitled to vote. Disqualified from voting are the insane, persons under sentence of death or serving a sentence of imprisonment exceeding 12 months and persons convicted for an offence connected with elections to the House. Electoral registers are revised and published twice a year, in April and October. Voting is not compulsory. Any person who has the qualifications for registration as a voter may be elected to Parliament. Disqualified from membership are persons owing allegiance to a foreign State and undischarged bankrupts, whereas holders of public office, members of the armed forces, certain persons party to a government contract, and officials connected with the conduct of the elections cannot, while remaining in these situations, be elected to the House. Each candidate must be nominated by four voters registered in his electoral division and deposit a sum equivalent to approximately US$ 100, which is forfeited if the number of votes obtained by him does not exceed one-tenth of the total votes polled divided by the number of members to be elected by that division.
