The Electoral Commission Queensland has listed 200 early voting centres across Queensland with six listed for Traeger and early voting options on all days except Sunday October 24.
ECQ's Commissioner Pat Vidgen said listing the early voting centre locations now meant electors could begin to plan the way to have their say for the 2020 State general election.
"The ECQ is asking electors to plan ahead this election period," Mr Vidgen said.
"One way we can make this easier is for voters to choose the most convenient early voting centre location, and the times they will be able to vote. Current locations and opening hours are now on our website, with some additional early voting centres still being confirmed."
