Today is the final day of official campaigning before voters go to the polls tomorrow to elect a new government.

A 24-hour broadcast news blackout is in place to give the electorate time to reflect on their vote without being bombarded by the messages of the various parties.

The blackout means radio and TV stations will not be covering any stories on election issues or the candidates seeking the backing of the public.

The polling booths open at 7.30am tomorrow.
