Early election voting begins

Voting for the Queensland State Election began on Monday this week following the ballot draw last week which will list candidates on the ballot paper as follows:

1. BOLTON, Sandy Independent

2. PRESCOTT, Rhonda The Greens

3. STEWART, Clare LNP

4. ROSER, Felicity Family First

5. HINSON, Darrel One Nation

6. DENHAM, Mark Australian Labor Party

Early voting for the Queensland State Election will continue to Friday 25 October from 8am-6pm (excluding the weekend) at Girraween Sports Complex, Cnr Eenie Creek Road and Langura Street, Noosa Heads, and Pomona Uniting Church, 27 Factory Street, Pomona.

Postal vote applications closed on Monday 14 October and the postal vote return deadline is Tuesday 5 November.

Election day is on Saturday 26 October from 8am-6pm.

Read the instructions on the ballot paper for how to vote. The Electoral Commission Queensland website says the State Election has full preferential voting, meaning that you need to put a number in each of the ballot boxes. Start with writing 1 in the box against the candidate who is your first choice, then write 2 for your second choice and so on until every box on your ballot paper has a number. Voting is compulsory.
