Two weeks into the Queensland election campaign and Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has returned to Townsville to continue her pitch to voters in the regional battleground.

Ms Palaszczuk flew to the northern city on Saturday after declaring she would remind Queenslanders "every single day" that a vote for One Nation will help Liberal National Party leader Tim Nicholls win office.

Her promise came after the LNP announced it would reserve the last spot on its how-to-vote cards for the Greens in the upcoming November 25 poll, but also ask voters to put One Nation above Labor in a swathe of seats.

"There is a deal - the deal is now there on the table for everybody to see," Ms Palaszczuk told reporters on Saturday.

"I will be reminding Queenslanders of this deal every single day."

But LNP president Gary Spence insisted the party has not entered into preference arrangements with the likes of One Nation.

Mr Nicholls will remain in the state's southeast on Sunday, where he is expected to make a public transport announcement.
