Counting continues in two tight Victorian lower house seats but numbers aren't shifting dramatically.

Frankston and Prahran remain too close to call more than a week after the state election.

Liberal Clem Newton-Brown's lead over Labor's Neil Pharaoh in Prahran dropped from 60 to 41 on Saturday night, on two candidate preferred results.

Frankston was basically unchanged, with Labor's Paul Edbrooke ahead of Liberal Sean Armistead by 336 votes.

Labor has won 46 seats and the coalition 38, with one going to the Greens, another to an independent and two still in doubt.

Formal preference distributions will start on Monday in districts where no candidate has an absolute majority.

About 35 candidates have been formally elected.
