A week into voting, nearly 450,000 people have already had their say on who they want in Government for the next three years.
Advance voting began last Monday, and will end on Election Day this Saturday.
Higher numbers have been turning out nationwide to vote in advance than in the past two elections. Information from Election NZ shows that the number of votes cast increased from about 40,000 on Monday - the days booths opened - to just shy of 80,000 on Friday.
Voting numbers dipped yesterday, with just over 45,000 casting their vote.
As of 2pm yesterday, a total 445,350 people have voted in advance.
