Nauru goes to the polls on Saturday.
The Nauru parliament is made up of 19 members in multi-seat constituencies - 14 administrative districts grouped into eight constituencies.
According to the Nauru Electoral Commission, a total of 60 candidates are vying for seats in parliament - six of whom are women.
Incumbent president David Adeang is running again in the Ubenide Constituency which has 12 candidates running for four seats.
In Aiwo, 10 candidates are running for two seats; Meneng has nine candidates running for three seats, and Anabar and Yaran both have seven candidates vying for two spots available in each constituency.
Anetan, Boe and Buada each have five candidates running for two spots.
Voting is compulsory for all Nauruan citizens aged 20 years and over.
As well as voting for seats, people will be asked for their vote in a referendum on Nauru's parliamentary term.
Parliament has passed an amendment bill to extend the term from three years to four, but it requires two-thirds of referendum votes to be in favour to become law.
Fourteen polling stations will be open from 9am to 6pm on Saturday. Mobile voting will also be available at the Republic of Nauru Hospital, the Corrections Centre, and at a mobile voter applicant's home by appointment.
Early voting got underway on Thursday at the old Eigigu Supermarket in Aiwo.
Nauru uses the preferential voting system, where voters rank candidates in order of preference.
Parliament elects the country's president.
