Six candidates will be vying for the seat of Callide at the State Election on November 25.
Sitting LNP Member and former Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney – who has held the seat since 1998 – announced earlier this year that he would not re-stand at the next election.
The LNP has nominated Taroom grazier and businessman Colin Boyce to contest the seat.
At the ballot draw held on Tuesday afternoon, Greens candidate Jaiben Baker took the top spot.
Then followed Robbie Radel (Katter’s Australian Party), Darren Blackwood (ALP), Colin Boyce (LNP), Sandra Anderson (Independent) and Sharon Lohse (Pauline Hanson’s One Nation).
Nominations for candidates for the election closed at noon on Tuesday.
