The Council of the Kamra tal-Periti has officially announced the nominees for the upcoming Periti Warranting Board elections, which are set to take place on 17th March.

Notary Christian Meilak, the election official, in agreement with the Council, has confirmed that periti will be able to vote for candidates across both registers – regardless of which list they belong to. This decision was taken due to ambiguities in the current regulations governing such elections. The Ministry responsible for the sector has also agreed to address these ambiguities at the earliest opportunity.

All periti eligible to vote will receive their electronic ballot via email. Anyone who believes they are entitled to vote but does not receive their ballot by Friday, 14th March 2025, is encouraged to contact the election official at [email protected].

These elections are being held with the support of the Parliamentary Secretariat for Public Works and the Periti Warranting Board.

In the category of Periti Arkitetti, Perit Ann Marie Delicata has been declared elected unopposed.
