Precision and accuracy is Returning Officer Robyn Edwards' aim as she counts each ballot paper by hand.
With only two weeks left until polling day Ms Edwards said there had to be 7,700 ballot papers exactly.
While it has been a busy time for Ms Edwards she said it was a great experience.
Polling day is on Saturday March 27.
People who are unable to attend polling day can pre-poll vote today at the Wellington Council Chambers from 9am to 5pm.
