The group of girls said the way their family voted would influence their decision as to who would get their vote.
A poll conducted at Tauranga Girls' College and Tauranga Boys' College showed the National Party as a clear favourite among the students.
The poll indicated John Key was the favourite when students were asked who their preferred Prime Minister was.
The Internet Party, which was aimed at the younger generation, did not appeal to the group of girls.
However, the poll indicated that The Internet Party was the second favourite choice for Tauranga Boys' College students with 23 per cent of the votes.
Seventeen-year-old Georgia Sharp will be 18 by September election and said youths needed to vote to have a say in what type of government would run the country.
"If people don't vote then they can't really complain," she said.
Tauranga Electoral Office registrar Lesley Christophers said she visited secondary schools in the area every year to enroll Year 13s and most of them "seemed keen" to vote.
Ms Christophers said she visited the schools to help students make well-informed decisions when voting.
"We try to make the whole voting process as less intimidating as possible."
Ms Christophers said she was pleased with the amount of students signed up to vote in the area and that it was important to inform first-time voters about the option of being on the Maori roll to vote.
"When we visit schools with a higher Maori population we encourage students to take the forms home and discuss with their family which roll they would like to go on."
