It might not be as easy as heading down to your local polling station, but members of the Irish Defence Forces serving overseas are voting in the general election.
All members of the Defence Forces are entitled to use the postal voting system.
Depending on how far away the deployment area is, the voting process happens up to a fortnight earlier than the rest of Ireland in military installations and on ships.
This is to allow time for the completed forms to be returned to count centres here.
There are currently 420 Irish Defence Forces personnel deployed in 15 countries globally.
These images - released by the Irish Defence Forces - show soldiers voting in UN Post 80, located in the Zone of Separation in The Golan Heights, and also at UN Post 2-45 on the Blue Line in South Lebanon.
