Around 40% of the voters have pre-polled but it was still busy at some booths on Saturday especially Mount Isa's Central State School, the largest booth of the Traeger electorate where there was a large amount of foot traffic on Saturday morning.
All three major party candidates were present at the booth when the North West Star dropped by at 9.30am.
Incumbent member Robbie Katter, the KAP leader, cast his vote at Central saying he was happy with his party's campaign.
"It's just down to the last two weeks, like at school it's the work of over 12 years or so that gives you your marks," Mr Katter said.
Though polls are predicting a narrow Labor win, Mr Katter said the KAP would work with whichever party forms government.
"Our only obligation is to our electorate, we have agendas and policies we want to strongly drive home and we'll be assertive because it is do or die for rural and remote areas."
LNP candidate Marnie Smith said she could not have put more into her campaign after travelling 8000km around the electorate,
"It's all a learning and I'll keep building, I don't plan to step aside," Ms Smith said.
Labor's James Bambrick was also pleased with his campaign,
"Win, lose of draw I've had the best experience, surrounded by really good friends," Mr Bambrick said.
Polling booths close at 6pm.
