The closing date for the publication of the forthcoming revision of the Electoral Register due in April is March 31.

However, it should be noted that the general election on April 12 is based on the electoral register published in October, 2002, the Electoral Commission said.

All Maltese citizens aged 18 or over whose name does not appear in the Electoral Register published in October, 2002, and who have not since applied for registration as voters, should do so provided they have the necessary qualifications. Application forms are obtainable from police stations, local councils' offices and from the electoral office.

It is in the interest of voters to verify that their personal particulars as shown in the October 2002 Register are correct. They should also verify that the house number or name, the street name as well as the ID card number are shown correctly in the register.

Registered voters should notify the Electoral Office of any changes or corrections necessary.

The Electoral Office is open from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and noon.

The same facilities are given at the Identity Card Office, Republic Street, Victoria.

All applications may be delivered at the Office of the Electoral Commission, Evans Building, St Elmo Place, Valletta, or to any police officer in any police station in Malta and Gozo, or forwarded to the Chief Electoral Commissioner free of any postal charge, by March 31.
