VOTERS looking to cast an early ballot in the up-coming state election have quickly found pre-poll locations either hard to get to or hard to find.

The Maroochydore principal polling place is in the Duporth Avenue shared zone in the middle of the CBD where campaign volunteers had to take care not to block pedestrian traffic in the busy precinct.

The situation was completely the reverse at the Ninderry pre-poll booth, tucked at the back of the Quanda Park industrial estate off the Coolum-Yandina Road.

Up to 40 per cent of voters were expected to have already made their mark ahead of the actual November 25 election day.

Maroochydore MP Fiona Simpson said the Duporth Avenue address was not the smartest location but that campaign workers for all candidates were working co-operatively despite the crowded conditions.

She was equally concerned that letters had still to be sent to voters telling them what electorate they were in, something that was critical given boundary redistributions and the addition of the new Ninderry seat.

Despite the difficulties, there was a steady stream of voters at the booth through the day as was the case in Maleny and the Buderim pre-poll site at Wises Road. Voters seemed deterred by the remoteness of the Quanda Park booth for Ninderry which remained quiet through the day.

Both the LNP member Andrew Powell and Labor challenger Brent Hampstead reported the Glass House pre-poll booth at Maleny had been busy with those at Beerwah and Morayfield much quieter.

But Mr Powell expected the traffic into pre-polling sites across the eight Sunshine Coast electorates would pick up considerably saying the trend was growing and could reach 30-40 per cent during this election.
