The vote count will resume in electorates across Queensland on Monday, with a dozen seats still undecided after Saturday's poll.

Annastacia Palaszczuk says she will be back at work on Monday, confident of winning the 47 seats needed to win a majority.

Her team has won 43 seats in the 93 seat parliament and is leading in four of the undecided electorates, which would be enough to get it across the line.

However, a definitive result could still be several days away, as many seats will come down to preferences on pre-poll and postal votes, which are up significantly on the 2015 poll.

The LNP is predicted to win 39 or 40 seats.

One Nation and the Greens are predicted to win one seat each, Katter's Australia Party two, and one independent.
