The government is still in discussions on the possibility of organising special flights at advantageous rates for voters living abroad to fly to Malta to vote in May’s divorce referendum.

A spokesman for the Office of the Prime Minister said nothing had yet been finalised but talks with Air Malta had started. A parliamentary question on this issue was also made last night.

The government usually enters into agreement with the national airline, Air Malta, to offer a cheap airfare to Maltese voters living abroad, to make it easier for them cast their vote.

This practice is used at general elections and for the last referendum in 2003 on Malta’s entry to the EU.
