Party Proposals

PN leader Alex Borg proposes allowing Maltese citizens living abroad to vote in elections through Maltese embassies, rather than requiring them to travel back to Malta. Borg says the matter should be taken up at the start of the next legislature.

ADPD proposes a set of digital policy measures aimed at reducing bureaucracy, protecting citizens' rights, and preparing Malta for the impact of artificial intelligence. The party states that technology should make everyday life simpler, fairer, and more accessible.

The Nationalist Party proposes to reopen police stations that have been closed.

PN proposes to renovate every police station across Malta and Gozo if elected to government. The plan would form part of a wider investment into the country's disciplined forces, aimed at improving working conditions.

Momentum proposes a series of constitutional reforms it calls 'building the Second Republic', aimed at reducing the concentration of power in the Prime Minister's office and strengthening parliamentary checks and balances. The party argues Malta's Constitution, last substantially revised in 1974, requires significant updating.

Momentum proposes ending the prime minister's exclusive authority to call a snap election, seeking to limit this power through constitutional or legislative reform.

Momentum proposes increasing the resources available to the National Audit Office to strengthen its oversight capacity.

Momentum proposes removing recruitment procedures for the civil service from the Office of the Prime Minister in order to restore merit and transparency to public appointments.

Momentum proposes providing local councils with stronger financial resources to better support their expanded responsibilities.

Momentum proposes transferring responsibility for waste collection from regional administrators back to local councils. The party argues the current regional system has not delivered the intended results and does not reflect Malta's local realities.

Labour proposes that a share of eco tax payments be channelled to local councils.

Momentum proposes converting the role of mayor from part-time to full-time, arguing the responsibilities have grown to require full-time commitment.

Momentum proposes expanding the autonomy of local councils, giving them greater decision-making powers independent of central government.

Momentum proposes granting Gozo full European region status, replacing its current semi-autonomous arrangement. The plan would establish a regional council elected directly by Gozitan residents to give them greater democratic control over local affairs and improve access to EU funding.

Labour leader Robert Abela announces a series of quality-of-life proposals, the most prominent being the introduction and operationalisation of a well-being index for Malta and Gozo.

The Labour Party proposes introducing a National Wellbeing Index to assess the impact of government measures beyond economic indicators. The index would be built on 10 dimensions and 20 indicators, with each dimension contributing equally (10%) to the overall score.
