The Labor Leader, Alan Carpenter, and Liberal Leader, Colin Barnett, will try to reinforce their campaign messages during the final day of election campaigning today.
After four weeks of campaign announcements today will be the final opportunity for both major parties to convince voters that they deserve the next four years in government.
The Premier Alan Carpenter will be campaigning at a school this morning.
He is trying to avoid a protest vote by emphasising that the Labor Party could lose the election and the Education Minister Mark McGowan is reinforcing that message.
"It's quite conceivable that Colin Barnett and Troy Buswell will be in office on Saturday evening, people need to think about that," he said.
The Liberals have been reminding voters of the Labor Party's links to lobbyists.
"So let's get this right Mr Carpenter, Brian Burke organised a deal within Labor so you became Premier," he said.
Mr Barnett will not be making any major policy announcements today, but will continue to sell his key campaign themes of improving education, health and law and order.
An advertising blackout has now come into effect.
Mr Carpenter will be campaigning at a school this morning and is likely to continue to stress that Labor could lose the election. Mr Barnett won't be making any more major policy announcements but will instead focus on the Liberal Party's promises to improve the education, health and justice systems.
