Voting for people who are blind and vision-impaired is now underway at 29 locations across the country.
Early voting began on Monday with polling booths now open for people unable to vote on November 24.
For the first time, electronic voting machines are being used to cast a secret vote.
Previously, blind and vision-impaired voters needed the help of a third party when casting their vote on election day.
Electoral Commissioner Ian Campbell says voters are able to have a practice session on the machine before they record their actual vote and a polling official will explain how the machine works.
The new system gives the voter instructions through headphones and responses are then made on a keypad.
The vote is then printed in code and placed in an envelope before being placed in the ballot box.
