A FLYER drop in marginal Queensland seats is not an indication of an early State Election, Treasurer Andrew Fraser says.

Households in some marginal seats, including the non-Labor seats of Clayfield in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Mirani and Burdekin in central Queensland, and the new seat of Coomera on the Gold Coast, received flyers from Premier Anna Bligh on the weekend.

Polling booth attendants have also told talkback radio they had already been put on notice.

The election is not due until September, but there is renewed speculation Ms Bligh will call it earlier, to avoid the negative effects of a difficult state budget, and the trial of former Bundaberg surgeon Jayant Patel.

Mr Fraser on Tuesday told ABC Radio he did not know when the election would be, and was not focused on it.

"As the Premier's said, she intends to run full term and I'm sure the Premier's mind will be turned to it while she has a couple of days off," he said.

"But in the meantime we're pretty focused on making sure we respond properly to the flood situation, and from my point of view, the fallout from the global financial crisis.

"The election will be held in due course, it's not something that's occupying a lot of my thinking."

The early letterbox drop was not uncommon, Mr Fraser said.

"When I was first preselected as a candidate, my first brochure went out many, many months before the election was held - that's what good candidates do, they upon selection go out there and provide introduction to their communities," he said.

The University of the Sunshine Coast's Dr Scott Prasser, a former federal and state policy adviser, told ABC Radio he believed the Government was just keeping its options open.

"I don't think governments make up their mind until the very last minute on these things," Dr Prasser said.

"What we've been seeing in the last three months is the government clearing the decks of a lot of these problems ... I think what the Premier's looking for is a window of opportunity to say, `Yes, I'll go for it'."
