More than 5000 people have already voted in Tauranga's byelection for a new MP.
Election day is not until June 18 but 5024 ordinary votes from Jun 4 to Jun 9 have already been cast.
There are 51,120 people enrolled on the general roll in the Tauranga electorate.
Voting Services Manager Graeme Astle said if people were ready to vote now, they could.
"There'll be voting places open across the city this weekend making it easy to vote, if you're out and about," he said.
Astle said people should remember to take an EasyVote card with them and it made voting faster. However, people could still vote without it.
There will be 17 voting places open this weekend.
Times and dates of advance voting varied so Astle recommended people check before they go.
The number of voting places will increase to 20 on election day.
