In pictures: Voters head to the polls
Voting centres across the Nepean electorate opened at 8.00am, and will close this evening at 6.00.
Our photographer Wayne Taylor has been on the ground at the Rosebud Sea Scouts Hall this morning, where many of the major candidates are in attendance. Take a look below.
Where is Nepean?
The electoral district of Nepean encompasses the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula, from Portsea to Dromana and across to Flinders. It is traditionally considered a safe Liberal seat.
Take a look at the map and voting history below.
Welcome to our live coverage
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s Nepean byelection. My name is Gemma Grant, and I will be helming our live blog this afternoon. Our reporter Angus Delaney is on the ground and you’ll also be hearing from state political reporter Kieran Rooney.
The stage is set for an interesting race. Jess Wilson’s new-look Liberal Party will be hoping that its candidate, Anthony Marsh, can safely retain this seat on the southern Mornington Peninsula for the party. But contenders like One Nation’s Darren Marsh and community independent Tracee Hutchison will be looking to disrupt the status quo.
Stay with us as the day progresses and the results begin to roll in, as we bring you all the major developments.
