The much-anticipated federal election is just round the corner. Current polls have put Coalition ahead of its competition but the narrow margin is resting at the mercy of marginal seats.

In the lead-up to Saturday’s election we are providing an overview of our coverage, highlighting main points as noted by general public and analysts.
"The election campaign is very long, and has somewhat contributed to voters apathy. Both major parties are on a level playing field and the undecided voters are going to go with the policy they think best suits the country," says professor Samina Yasmeen, University of Western Australia. "Most of the policies put forward by two major parties are similar to each other. Young voters are not impressed with both Liberal and Labor, hence there is a slight shift towards the Greens," says professor Tahmina Rashid, University of Canberra. "When it comes to policies that concern the Islamic community, both major parties are presenting almost similar viewpoint", says Ali Kadri, Islamic Council of Queensland.
