Logan booths quiet after strong pre-polling and postal votes

Election booths across the southeast have been quiet with police recording no incidents and no call outs to voting sites. HERE ARE SOME OF YOUR PHOTOS FROM THIS MORNING

Voters were out early ahead of a dangerous storm forecast for this afternoon.

Polling booths across Logan have been very quiet following two weeks of record pre-polling voting.

ECQ Commissioner Pat Vidgeon said he expected most people to vote this morning before storms are forecast to roll in across the southeast.

He said he expected about 900,000 people were to cast their votes today at the 1300 booths set up across the state.

In Logan, the queues depleted just before 9am after polls opened at 8am.

Police said it was unsual as they had not been called to any booths in the southeast this morning.

CHURCH OF CHRIST SPRINGWOOD:

Voters said roads and planning were the main issues.

Voters at Yarrabilba were out early.
