The voters of Eastleigh are set to choose a new MP in a by-election prompted by the resignation of former Lib Dem cabinet minister Chris Huhne.
Polling will continue until 22:00 GMT, with votes to be counted overnight on Thursday.
There are 14 candidates in total on the ballot papers.
Ahead of polling day, Eastleigh Council told the BBC it had issued 14,276 postal votes and that 9,485, or 66.4%, had been returned by Tuesday.
The total electorate for the constituency is 79,004.
From the constituency's creation in 1955 until 1994, Eastleigh was represented by the Conservatives. It has been held by the Lib Dems since.
This will be only the fifth occasion since the 1945 general election when the Lib Dems, or their predecessors the Liberals, have defended a parliamentary seat in a by-election.

- COLIN BEX - Wessex regionalists
- DAVID BISHOP - Elvis Loves Pets Party

- RAY HALL - Beer, Baccy and Crumpet Party
- HOWLING LAUD HOPE - Monster Raving Loony William Hill Party
