Both leaders, the current premier Steven Marshall and his challenger Peter Malinauskas, continued their campaigning well into Friday night.
Mr Marshall pledged the Liberal party’s fight on the economy last night.
“A strong and growing economy means we can invest in the things that are important: cost of living, health, schools, road, community infrastructure, sporting infrastructure,” he said.
“Now is the time to continue down this path and not go back to tired old Labor.”
Whereas Mr Malinauskas and the Labor party are fighting to change and rebuild the health system after the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’ve got a once in a lifetime opportunity to rebuild from the pandemic,” Mr Malinauskas said.
“I think we’ve got to decide the legacy of COVID-19 isn’t a bad memory and a big debt but rather the legacy of COVID-19 is an opportunity to ensure the economy is delivering for working families and ensuring we have a health system that works.”
The polls are currently suggesting Labor is leading the fight.
The nation will be watching the election closely as it is the first time Australian voters have had to judge a government without COVID-19 restrictions overshadowing the decision.
After months of campaigning, voters will head to the polls to decide on the leadership of the state.
