Government introduced votes at 16 for the first time.

Documentary fact. Malta lowered the voting age to 16 for local council elections in 2015 and extended this to general elections, MEP elections and referenda on 5 March 2018 (Act No. VI of 2018). Malta is the second EU country (after Austria, which moved in 2007) to extend voting rights to 16-year-olds at national level. Both legislative changes happened under PL governments.
