Who are the candidates?

Wright has six candidates. Here is how you can expect them to appear on your ballot paper.

Has pre-polling been popular?

Australian Electoral Commission data suggests pre-polling more than 5600 people in the electorate casting their vote on or before Thursday, May 19.

More than 26,000 have applied to lodge postal votes.

The odds

LNP candidate Scott Buchholz has been an unbackable favourite with bookmakers throughout the campaign.

Labor's Pam McCreadie is paying $14, while Nicole Thompson of the Greens and Keith HIcks are both outsiders at $91.

The key promises

The major parties have made several election commitments in the electorate ahead of election day.

Labor have pledged $250,000 to the Park Ridge Pirates, while the LNP have gone hard on support for the Beaudesert Kingfishers and the Boonah War Memorial.

Party visits

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and opposition leader Anthony Albanese did not visit the Scenic Rim during the six-week election campaign.

The Prime Minister visited the Scenic Rim in September 2019 during the Black Summer bushfires.

What happens if I have COVID?

Anyone who tests positive to coronavirus is eligible to vote over the phone.

Only people who tested positive after 6pm last Friday (May 13) are able to access the service, according to the AEC.

People wishing to vote this way must register online and provide details of a positive RAT or PCR test.

Democracy sausages

An online crowdsource suggests the following Scenic Rim polling booths will be serving up democracy sausages.

Weather forecast

The Weather Bureau is forecasting rain and a low of 14 degrees on election Saturday.
