Marshall casts early vote in SA election

South Australian Opposition Leader Steven Marshall has cast his vote more than a week out from polling day.

South Australian Opposition Leader Steven Marshall has cast his vote more than a week out from the state election.

The member for Dunstan said he was entitled to vote early because he will be busy campaigning on polling day.

"There have been changes to the laws to allow us to be on booths handing out how-to-vote cards - that's what I'm going to be doing the entire way through March 17," he told reporters on Tuesday.

Despite pre-polling opening on Monday, campaign costing documents are not scheduled to be released until next week.

Mr Marshall shut down the suggestion the release be brought forward so that pre-poll voters are fully informed.

"It's difficult to put the campaign costing document out early because we still do have campaign commitments and policies that we will announce that we don't want to foreshadow in the campaign costing document," he said.
