- The Liberal Party complained to the NSW Electoral Commission about signs at polling places for “teal” candidates that urge voters to number every box and warn: “Don’t risk a wasted vote”. Independent for Pittwater Jacqui Scruby and independent for Manly Joeline Hackman hit back at the Liberal Party. Today, both leaders made their rounds, securing votes and casting their final sway on voters around Sydney, while scrutiny of party signage continued.

"It's not all about Sydney — it's more about the rest of the state." Michael Florance from the Sustainable Australia party said he had been to the regions previously, he had not done so ahead of the election. "I have to be honest, given my short campaign period and the sheer volume of admin as an independent, I have not been to Wentworth during this campaign period," he said. "We've had some visits from Peta Betts, we've had Paul Toole in the area, but otherwise I'm not aware of any of the other candidates coming across to Wentworth. Jane Farnsworth from the Balranald Early Learning Centre said she had not been contacted by any of the candidates. - The majority of candidates running in the seat of Murray did not respond to te ABC's request for comment before deadline

It is the eve of the NSW election and political leaders have been vying for residents' votes for the past six weeks but now it is time to make a decision.

- Labor is committing to a trial of 500 cashless machines. - Labor is promising to raise the tax-free threshold to properties up to $800,000 with concessions up to $1 million. - The Liberals are offering $250 off power pills for every household and dropping the Opal card cap for public transport from $50 to $40 a week.

As 5.5 million voters prepare to cast their vote in NSW this Saturday, Daily Mail Australia invited Premier Dominic Perrottet and Labor leader Chris Minns ...

Labor has a plan to deliver it. And I think the people of NSW do too. NSW Labor has a strong plan to address cost-of-living concerns. If Dominic Perrottet and the Liberals are given four more years in power, things won’t improve. A midwife from Nepean Hospital recently told me that after 7 years she is looking to quit her job altogether. The good news is that there is a better way. It’s a choice we are offering on homes all the way up to $1.5 million. And it’s only getting worse. Each account will start with $400 from the Government. This choice won’t be available under Labor - they have promised to take it away. Labor has opposed this policy and that means public transport costs will be higher under Labor. the

Liberal officials say that swings in some seats are within the margin of error, indicating the Coalition could still cling on to government.

“There are lots of seats where the track is showing a margin of error and that it can go either way ... These include Health Minister Brad Hazzard’s seat of Wakehurst, which the Liberals hold on a margin of 22 per cent. The seat is on a margin of 9 per cent but is regarded as being at risk after the retirement of respected Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello. Both leaders have spent the campaign focusing on a handful of seats in western Sydney including Leppington, East Hills, Parramatta, Holsworthy, Winston Hills, Riverstone and Penrith. Before that, she covered Victorian and NSW politics and business for The Australian, the AFR and BRW Magazine. [Premier Dominic Perrottet](https://www.afr.com/politics/win-or-lose-perrottet-has-redefined-liberal-leadership-20230322-p5cucp) started the final morning of a six-week campaign campaigning in the Liberal seat of Willoughby, which until recently was held by former premier Gladys Berejiklian by a margin of 27 per cent, and the former blue-ribbon electorate of North Shore. Others worry about South Coast, which retiring MP Shelley Hancock has held for more than a decade on a margin of more than 10 per cent, but which is now being contested by Luke Sikora. After 12 years in which it has spent more on infrastructure than any state government before it, if the polling is accurate it would very likely prove decisive for a government that holds only 45 of 93 electorates. The survey of more than 1100 voters, taken between March 19 and 21, revealed that more than half of NSW households would have to go into debt to pay for a $600 bill if it arrived unexpectedly. Mr Minns also made a pre-dawn visit to Sydney Markets and then met manufacturing workers in Auburn to spruik Labor’s domestic manufacturing plan, before heading west. A Labor win would leave Tasmania as the only state with a Coalition government. He then headed west to the at-risk seat of Penrith.
