LABOR'S nominees for former prime minister Julia Gillard's vacated seat of Lalor will soon learn if the party, or local members, will pick the winning candidate.
Ms Gillard will not recontest the safe Labor seat at the upcoming federal election, leading to a potential flood of nominees.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has expressed his keenness for all preselections to be decided by a local ballot, but the party's national executive will meet on Friday afternoon to decide whether it will intervene.
Labor's Victorian assistant state secretary Kosmos Samaras said "numerous" nominations for the western Melbourne electorate had been received ahead of the close of nominations at 5pm (AEST) on Friday.
One of the likely preselection nominees, diplomat Lisa Clutterham, on Thursday admitted she had no connection with Melbourne.
Ms Gillard has publicly endorsed former local primary school principal Joanne Ryan for the seat.
Other possible candidates include Sandra Willis, daughter of former Keating-era treasurer Ralph Willis, and unionist Kimberley Kitching.
