‘Deprived’ Of the vote

Malta Independent Tuesday, 9 June 2009, 00:00 Last update: about 18 years ago

With the latest bill amending the Local Councils Act, which lays down the schedule of elections for local councils, I have been deprived of my democratic right to vote for a new representation at the local council in Qormi next year.

The mandate of the currently voted councillors has been undemocratically extended by two years by the members of the electoral committee consisting of members of the two main parties. This is absolutely not acceptable in a democratic society.
