Arm in arm with his wife Sasha, Mr Rann arrived at a polling station in Adelaide's exclusive eastern suburb of Norwood amid a swarm of media on Saturday morning and said he was feeling "good".

He said it was now a matter of wait and see, and when asked if he had any regrets he said "no".

"We know it's going to be a tight finish, all the polls have shown that," he told reporters outside the polling station.

"Let's wait and see what happens tonight ... it could be a very long night."
