Malta has used the single transferable vote (STV) since 1921 to elect the members of its house of representatives. For detailed information concerning the use of STV in Malta, please see the website Malta Elections.

Malta uses the Gregory method of STV, which is similar to the method used in N. Ireland and the ERS97 Rules, but has some unique aspects to it. The Malta constitution specifies certain requirements based on the number votes each party received at the first stage of the count to ensure that the party receiving the greatest number of first-place votes controls the house.
