Memorable moments on SA election day

* SA-Best Leader Nick Xenophon and his Liberal rival for the seat of Hartley Vincent Tarzia came face-to-face at a polling booth, sharing a tense handshake and conversation about who had worn out the most boot leather during the campaign.

* Independent candidate for Premier Jay Weatherill's seat of Cheltenham, Vince Scali, heckled the Labor leader at a polling booth alongside a cardboard cutout of the premier. Mr Weatherill told Mr Scali if he continued to defame him it could "cost him a lot of money".

* Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy threw his support behind SA Liberal leader Steven Marshall in his marginal seat of Dunstan, handing out how-to-vote cards, though he appeared not to be recognised by most Adelaide locals.

* Mr Marshall kept up the great Aussie tradition of buying a sausage at a polling station but was notably careful to escape the media's gaze before eating it.
