The Presidential Election race is almost run, with voters having their say at the polls.
For tens of thousands of people, this will be the first time they vote.
If you are not sure what to expect when you go to your polling station, watch our video.
We visited An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Ireland's Independent electoral commission, so we could show you what's involved when you cast your ballot.
3.6 million people are entitled to vote in the election.
Voters can cast their ballot between 7am and 10pm when polls are open.
You don’t need your polling card to vote but you should bring identification to the polling station.
Place the number one, two or three next to your preferred candidate in order of preference.
Votes are counted by proportional representation - the single transferable vote.
So if no candidate has reached the quota, the lowest placed candidate is eliminated and their votes are distributed to the next available preference on ballot papers.
In this election, three candidates were validly nominated.
Unusually, Fianna Fáil’s Jim Gavin dropped out during the contest. However, this was after the close of nominations so his name remains on the ballot paper.
Therefore Mr Gavin’s votes will be counted and distributed in the usual way.
Boxes will be opened at 9am on Saturday when counting begins.
Chief executive of An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Art O’Leary, has urged people to get out and vote.
"Try and carve out some time during the day to get to vote because your vote is your voice. And if you don’t vote you allow other people to speak for you and you would never allow that to happen in any other part of your life," he said.
