Launch of the 2026 Maltese General Election “Deep Dive”

The Institute for European Studies, as a partner of the Bertelsmann Foundation, has officially launched a comprehensive, dedicated “deep dive” focusing on the 2026 Maltese General Election. This is part of the wider “Transatlantic Periscope” project, which the Institute for European Studies curates with the Bertelsmann Foundation and focuses primarily on Malta-US relations.

As Malta heads to the polls, this “deep dive” serves as a guide for navigating the complex Maltese political landscape. It brings together different resources, highlighting the major debates that characterise the electoral campaign and the aftermath of the result until a new government is formed.

Aimed at academics, students, policymakers and the general public, this tool offers both local and international audiences a real-time, nuanced picture of Malta’s electoral process.
