Opposition leader Matthew Guy has been targeted by an anti-racism campaign as Victorians go to the polls.
Activists from the advocacy group Colour Code ambushed him at a polling station in Melbourne's south east.
"You've been vilifying African communities, you've been connecting crime to race when there's no issue," senior campaigner Roj Amedi told him.
Mr Guy apologised to voters for the disturbance.
"I'd like to stop being harassed, if you don't mind," Mr Guy said as he tried to talk to voters in the line.
"I'm sorry this is occurring in front of you."
The Liberal Party has focused their campaign on law and order issues including so-called African gang violence.
Despite being down in the polls going in to Saturday's election, Mr Guy was staying upbeat saying, "We look at our research and it says we've got a good chance."
Non-Liberal Party research begs to differ, with the Newspoll published by The Australian indicating a two-party preferred Labor victory of 53.5 per cent, leaving the Liberal-Nationals with 46.5 per cent.
The poll, which was conducted on November 21 and 22, had 41 per cent of the primary vote going to Labor, 40 to the Liberal-Nationals and 11 to the Greens.
The preferred premier was Labor's Daniel Andrews on 45 per cent, with Mr Guy on 33 per cent.
