A broadcast blackout on all election campaigning has begun.
Voters will go to the polls this Saturday to decide who will make up the next Dail.
Everyone who's registered is being encouraged to have their say.
Polling stations will be open from 7am until 10pm.
You don't need to bring your polling card with you to vote but you will need to bring official ID like a passport, drivers licence or Garda age card.
If you are vocally supporting one particular candidate do not wear any badges, jackets, flags or any other paraphernalia that supports one candidate or another to the polling station.
Campaigning within 50 metres of a voting centre is not allowed.
Polling stations are a no camera zone as well, so no selfies or taking photos of your vote.
It could lead to a fine or a spoiling of your vote.
Fill out your ballot with number 1 next to your favourite candidate, number 2 next to your second favourite, and so on down the ballot.
If there's someone your really, really don't want elected, you should leave their box blank.
Filling the boxes with a tick or an X, writing on the ballot or including anything that would identify you may lead to your vote being spoiled.
