State polling: what you need to know about the polls on the Gold Coast

WITH who to vote for on everyone’s lips, here’s the who, what and when of you need to know about the upcoming poll.

THE Labor Party has just a week left to endorse candidates for six seats on the Gold Coast before nominations close at midday on November 7.

THREE KEY POLL SEATS ON GOLD COAST

The LNP have had candidates endorsed in all eleven electorates for months, with some paying for advertising space well before Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk called the election on Sunday.

One Nation will also have some work to do with just four candidates nominated across the Gold Coast.

The short election period means the nominations will close just two and a half hours before the order of the ballot paper is drawn.
