Maltese voters were casting their ballots on Saturday to elect aย new Parliament.
The Republic of Malta is theย smallest and most densely populated country in the European Union .
Over 341,000 residents of the island country are eligible to vote.
The polling will take place betweenย 7 am (5 am UTC) and 10 pm (8 pm UTC).
Preliminary results are expected to roll out on Sunday afternoon.
Opinion polls have put Prime Minister Robert Abela's ruling centre-left Labour Party (MLP) ahead in the race, which could pave the way for a record fourth consecutive term for the Labour government.
Abela's primary opponent is Nationalist Party (PN) candidate Alex Borg.
Borg is a 30-year-old lawyer and a former "Mr World Malta" beauty pageant titleholder. He would be the country's youngest leader if he emerges victorious.
