Jay Weatherill and Steven Marshall might be hoping for a few donkey votes in March, after both scored first place on their electoral ballot papers.

Nominations have officially closed, and ballots have been drawn for where Lower House candidates' names will appear on election day.

While Mr Weatherill is number one in Cheltenham, and Mr Marshall is number one in Dunstan, SA Best leader Nick Xenophon wasn't quite so lucky.

In the hotly contested seat of Hartley, Mr Xenophon came last, in seventh place.

Independent candidate Marijka Ryan scored number one, while Labor's Grace Portolesi came third, and Liberal Vincent Tarzia took fifth place.

A donkey vote is when a constituent fills their ballot in numerical order starting with one at the top of ballot.

Mr Xenophon has pulled stunts involving a donkey in the past, but said he won't be doing that on election day.

"That would make an ass of myself really but the so-called 'reverse donkey' vote works for me but the fact is the voters of Hartley are very discerning and I think they'll be able to find me pretty easily on the ballot paper," Mr Xenophon said.

Another candidate who has drawn headlines leading into the election is Vincent Scali, who promised to change his name to 'Hadd Enuf' and run against Mr Weatherill in Cheltenham.

His controversial van drew a threat of legal action from the Premier.

But Mr Scali's threat of changing his name hasn't eventuated.

He's running under his own name will be ranked third on the Cheltenham ballot paper.
