This year’s 2024 order of candidates on Election Ballot Paper was determined earlier this week on Tuesday 8 October at Returning Officer Whitsunday in Whitsunday Shopping Centre.
The Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ) had the 5 candidates’ names and parties on separate pieces of paper, all the same size. Placed them into blank envelopes also the same size.
They were then placed in a Ballot Box, shaken, mixed up and drawn blindly.
The results:
1. Bauke Hovinga - Labor
2. Amanda Camm - LNP
3. Elena Quirk - Greens

5. Peter Atchison - Family First
