An abortion is currently permitted only when a woman's life is in danger, but not in cases of rape, incest, or a fatal fetus disorder.
More than 3.2 million voters are registered to take part in the referendum, with more than 100,000 new voters registered before the referendum, Kosova Preress follows.
The referendum comes after a decade of debate on abortion in Ireland, and will be the country's sixth vote on the issue.
