The Nationalist Party is calling on the government to amend the Electoral Law so that people who declare that they will be abroad on June 6 - when the EP and local council elections will be held - would be allowed to vote on the Saturday before.

This is a very welcome decision which recognises the important contribution that the Maltese athletes are giving to our country. Thumbs up to PN secretary general Paul Borg Olivier. One hopes that the government will now amend the law to make this possible. Hopefully, the Labour Party too agrees with this decision.

I'm sure that this stand is warmly welcomed by the Maltese athletes and Malta Olympic Committee.
