More than 350 people took part in the online survey which appeared on the websites of the Cowra Guardian, Young Witness and Grenfell Record.
The poll asked voters to choose one of seven prominent issues as their biggest priority for the March 23 election.
The issues voters were asked to choose from where education, health, policing, water supply, infrastructure, roads and drought assistance.
Health was the clear favourite, attracting nearly one third of the votes.
Water supply was second with 16.81 per cent, followed by infrastructure (15.13 per cent) and policing (14.01 per cent).
Surprisingly, two of the traditionally big-ticket state election items, roads (8.12 per cent) and education (5.60 per cent) polled the poorly.
A similar poll conducted in northern NSW returned similar results.
Drought assistance was listed as the number one priority by 7.84 respondents.
The Cowra Guardian, Young Witness and Grenfell Record have sent a series of questions to sitting member Steph Cooke of the National Party, Shooters and Fishers candidate Matthew Statdmiller and Country Labor candidate Mark Douglass.
Their replies to these questions will be published in the weeks leading up to the State election.
