Victoria's state election campaign has officially begun after parliament was dissolved on Tuesday, with voting set for 28 November.
Victoria's state election campaign officially began on Tuesday after Governor Margaret Gardner signed writs dissolving the state's parliament. Voting will take place on 28 November, with the campaign lasting 25 days. Premier Ben Carroll's Labor government will face voters after just four months under his leadership, following his appointment in July. The electoral roll closes at 8pm on Tuesday, the final chance for voters to enrol or update their details. About 4.7 million Victorians, representing 98.7 per cent of eligible voters, have already enrolled.
Polling conducted by Pyxis Polling & Insights for The Australian predicts the Coalition will receive 33 per cent of the primary vote, Labor 24 per cent, and One Nation at least 20 per cent, with the Greens on 14 per cent. On a two-party preferred basis, the Coalition leads Labor 55-45. A Roy Morgan poll showed One Nation polling at 22 per cent, just behind Labor's 22.5 per cent, with the Coalition at 29.5 per cent.
Candidate nominations opened on Tuesday and close at midday on 9 November. Early voting will run from 18 to 27 November at over 200 centres across the state, with the Victorian Electoral Commission estimating about 60 per cent of eligible voters will vote early. A four-way leaders' debate is scheduled for 17 November, featuring Carroll, Liberal Opposition Leader Jess Wilson, Greens leader Ellen Sandell, and One Nation's Warren Pickering.
