Voting by Maltese living abroad can be facilitated through Embassy (or online) voting. The current situation of subsidising flights; (i) is not the most cost effective way for Malta, (ii) might still deter people from travelling e.g. if they live far from airports, (iii) is only available on AirMalta routes e.g. Maltese living outside of Europe cannot avail of these flights.
A friend of mine lives in India and cannot vote because there is no possible way of him being in Malta for the election, like i'm sure many others can't.
Were there is a will there is a way...I know of people coming from Australia to vote.
