Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and Opposition Leader Matthew Guy have made their final pitches to undecided voters as Victorians head to the polls for the state election.
Mr Andrews used the final campaign day in an inner-city Melbourne seat at risk to the Greens, while Mr Guy was forced to spend time defending his would-be treasurer.
Labor promised to build six tech schools for $116 million to train engineers and electricians working on a State Electricity Commission if it wins Saturday's poll.
Mr Andrews also announced a $24 million kindergarten package including cash grants to be sprinkled across the state.
The premier was keen to focus on Labor's big road and rail promises in his final comments before election day.
But Mr Andrews couldn't resist laying his boot into the Liberal Party over the opposition's policy costings.
"They will cut it all, they're auditing everything," he told reporters in Northcote, a seat Labor could lose to the Greens.
"You can cut bills by voting Labor or cut jobs by voting Liberal."
Further afield, Mr Guy stood by his shadow treasurer over an embarrassing budget bungle.
Touring Sovereign Hill in Ballarat on the eve of the election, Mr Guy declared David Davis would keep his post if the Liberal-Nationals were elected.
Mr Davis did not initially supply a total estimate for new commitments when releasing election policy costings.
A Liberal spokesperson later confirmed they would cost about $28 billion but stressed the budget would be roughly $10b better off under their plan.
Asked why Victorians should trust Mr Davis to run the state's economy, Mr Guy remained adamant the coalition were a safe pair of hands.
"I can only say this ... our commitments that David presented yesterday add up," he told reporters on Friday, describing the promised savings as "sensible and responsible".
Victoria's major parties left voters little more than 48 hours to crunch the numbers on their policy costings before polls close.
Labor's financial statement shows its election initiatives tally about $11.7b but at least $5.86b of those have no start date for the allocation of funding over the forward estimates.
Labor forecasts an improved budget surplus of $1b for the 2025/26 financial year, while the coalition is flagging a $2.1b surplus in 2024/25.
The Victorian Electoral Commission is bracing for a slower than usual vote count, possibly delaying results on election night.
The commission's Sue Lang said nearly 4.4 million Victorians were enrolled to vote and about 1.93m had cast their ballots early, which could slow counting.
The agency is aiming to count 75 per cent of votes over the weekend, absentee votes will then be sorted into the correct districts and counted next week.
The premier broke with tradition to cast his ballot early, with Mr Andrews photographed outside his electorate alongside wife Catherine and two of his children.
