There are 11 days to go until the election, advance voting has kicked off and the Electoral Commission says about 3000 people have already cast their votes overseas.
Currently, 3.4 million Kiwis are enrolled to vote while about 390,000 eligible voters have not yet enrolled.
Electoral Commission chief electoral officer Karl Le Quesne says there is still time for Kiwis to enrol, even on election day.
"You can even go into the voting place when you want to cast your vote and enrol at the voting place as well."
Le Quesne told AM the current number of enrolled voters is slightly higher than in the 2020 election.
Overseas voting opened on September 27. Le Quesne said the latest numbers of overseas votes cast so far are about 3000 and about 70 telephone dictation votes, though it's still "early days".
"It's following fairly closely the numbers for 2020."
In 2014, the proportion of people voting in advance was 29 percent, in 2017 it was 47 percent and its popularity has continued to climb - in 2020 it was 68 percent.
Le Quesne told AM the Commission has planned for the same uptake in advance voting seen in 2020.
"It has been increasing in the last several elections, we can't be entirely clear whether that will still keep increasing, but we've planned for about the same amount."
The Commission's advice for voters
Le Quesne said the first thing a voter should do is find out where the closest polling booth is to them.
"You should be getting your EasyVote pack this week which will have a list of all the voting places near you."
Alternatively, Le Quesne said Kiwis can go on to the VoteNZ website, where it'll show the closest polling booth to someone's home address.
Le Quesne told AM an EasyVote pack will have a voting card in it and if the card is taken to a polling booth it'll make the voting process a little quicker.
"If you don't have your EasyVote pack yet, or you've forgotten your card, that's okay you can still go along to vote."
