A tight finish expected in the race for government in NSW

New South Wales residents are going to the polls today to decide who will lead their state for the next four years. It looks set to be a tight race; multiple polls have the Coalition and Labor deadlocked at 50-50 on a two-party preferred basis going into the election.

Liberal Premier Gladys Berejiklian is up against Labor leader Michael Daley in the New South Wales state election.

Mr Daley has only been in the job for a matter of months,  stepping into the role after his predecessor Luke Foley resigned amid a harassment complaint in November last year.

As election day approaches, the two leaders are criss-crossing the state, shaking hands, taking selfies and promising to spend big.

In a uniquely Australian touch, much of the New South Wales election campaign has been centred around a football stadium.

The Coalition is in the early stages of knocking down and rebuilding Sydney Football Stadium, at a cost of $730 million.

Sensing public frustrations, Labor's Mr Daley has called for a pause to demolition work until after the election.
