Electoral Commission chief electoral officer Karl Le Quesne is encouraging people to vote.
“It’s important that you have your say on who represents you in Parliament for the next three years,” he said. “Saturday is your final chance to enrol, vote and be heard.
“Many people have got out early to vote, but there are still a lot who haven’t, and we don’t want them to miss out.”
Voters who have their EasyVote card should take it with them to make voting faster, but people can vote without one.
“If you’re not enrolled yet, you can enrol and vote at the same time at any voting place,” Mr LeQuesne said.
People can check where their closest voting place is online at vote.nz or by calling 0800 36 76 56.
The preliminary results of the general election will be released progressively after voting closes at 7pm.
Results will be available at electionresults.govt.nz
