Abstract: Voting is generally considered as the most basic and widespread political act; "the first and smallest step" (Gaines, 2005, p. 1 0) of citizen involvement in the democratic process. It is also considered a fundamental human right and a basic means for expressing oneself about one's ideological beliefs and mode of governance (Swift, 2002) and thus vital for political legitimacy and representation (Ell is, Gratschew, Pammett & Thiessen, 2006; Wattenberg, 2002). This chapter presents an overview of Malta's electoral process and main aspects of political culture, within the context of its traditional and emergent voting patterns of behaviour.
