Over a week since they went to the polls, Queenslanders are still waiting to know the result of the state election.
Only eight of the 93 seats have been officially called by the Electoral Commission of Queensland despite more than 85 per cent of the votes being counted by Saturday afternoon.
All eight seats to be declared have gone to incumbents, with five going to Labor - including Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk's seat of Inala - and three to the Liberal National Party.
The ABC is still predicting Labor will win 47 seats, enabling Ms Palaszczuk to claim a slim majority.
The LNP is predicted to win 38 seats.

A handful of seats remain in doubt including the inner-Brisbane seat of Maiwar, with the Greens and Labor candidates separated by only four votes with more than 82 per cent of the roll counted.
Aspley is another seat in the balance, with more than 90 per cent of the vote counted, but the ABC is predicting Labor's Bart Mellish will oust LNP incumbent Tracy Davis on preferences.
Assistant Queensland Electoral Commissioner Dermot Tiernan said the introduction of compulsory preferential voting had made the races a lot tighter than in the past and had increased the time it took to count votes.
He urged patience with the count, with a final result unlikely to be known until later in the week.
"In seats where the race is tight we could be waiting for postal and declaration votes to be sent back before it is possible to declare a winner, and Queensland law gives people up until 10 days after the election to return these," Mr Tiernan said.
Labor and the Liberal National Party both say they'll wait for the final determination by the ECQ before declaring victory or conceding defeat.
