State Electoral Commissioner Walter van der Merwe's report into behaviour during last month's Redcliffe byelection is expected to be tabled in Parliament on Thursday.

But Premier Campbell Newman told The Courier Mail his cabinet had given “in-principle” support to a range of measures proposed to counter issues raised in the report.

“My overall concern about elections in Queensland is very much driven by the feedback I get from ordinary men and women who are always saying to me 'look, we hate the barrage at polling booths, we feel intimidated',” Mr Newman told the paper.

“The government would like to put forward a proposal to really take a very positive step to have election days as a day where voters can go about their democratic responsibilities in an atmosphere of quiet contemplation, that we calm it right down, we don't have the circus, the hoopla or indeed the aggro at polling booths, or the waste of resources.”

The government lost the seat of Redcliffe, which had been won by its candidate Scott Driscoll in 2012, to Labor's Yvette D'ath by an almost 18 per cent swing. Mr Driscoll's resignation, on the eve of a parliamentary expulsion debate, triggered the byelection.

Following complaints of intimidation and obstructive behaviour at Redcliffe voting booths, Mr van der Merwe wrote to Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie last month, and asked him to delay making changes to the state's electoral act so he had time to investigate complaints about behaviour during the February 22 poll.

Mr Bleijie told parliament Mr van der Merwe had three major areas of concern – "the overt intimidating and obstructing behaviour towards the public and election staff, the excessive display of political statements and the manner and time in which those statements were erected and displayed and the conduct and numbers of scrutineers at the Saturday night count".

Mr van der Merwe did not name a particular group or political party in his letter to Mr Bleijie.

The government agreed to delay debate on its Electoral Act amendments, which scrap political expenditure and donation limits, raise the declaration threshold to $12,400 and increase the percentage of the vote needed before public funds kick in from 4 to 10 per cent, until after Mr van der Merwe's investigation was completed.

Mr van der Merwe's recommendations reportedly include the creation of a new offence for anyone found to be obstructing a person from entering a polling booth and including third-party interest groups under how-to-vote card rules, which would require the electoral commission to approve the material before it is distributed.

Following the LNP's massive loss at the Redcliffe poll, Mr Newman promised his government would consult and listen more. He said the government would consult with voters before making any changes to how election days were held.
