People in Victoria have cast their votes in what is shaping up as the tightest election since the Labor Party's victory in 1999.
Two polls out on Saturday morning point to a narrow Coalition victory or a hung parliament, though those predictions are within the polls' margins for error.
Premier John Brumby appears resigned to a swing against his government.
"I don't claim that everything we have done in government has been perfect," he said.
"It will be a tight election, but I think the difference at the end of the day is going to be about leadership for the future."
Coalition leader Ted Baillieu says he is seeking to govern in his own right.
"We haven't done a deal with independents or Greens and we're not about to do a deal," he said.
"The message we're sending is clear. This is a tired, incompetent and out of touch Government that has had 11 years. They haven't delivered, they have left Victorians with big problems.
"We're going to do something about it; fix those problems and get on with it."
The ABC reports the narrow contest predicted means a result may not be known until Sunday.
