Elections in Malta gives information on election and election results in Malta. An election is a process in which a vote is held to elect candidates to an office. It is the mechanism by which a democracy fills elective offices in the legislature, and sometimes the executive and judiciary, and in which electorates choose local government officials.

See election for a more comprehensive discussion and the List of democracy and elections-related topics for an overview on related topics.

Malta elects on national level a head of state - the president - and a legislature. The House of Representatives (Il-Kamra tad-Deputati) has a minimum of 65 members, elected for a five year term in 13 multi-seat constituencies with a possibility of rewarding bonus members for the popular largest party which doesn't succeed in getting absolute majority in parliament. The president is elected for a five year term by the parliament. Malta has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties , with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party.
