Health and Education have topped a list of issues concerning Tasmanians ahead of next year's state election.

A poll has identified two key areas that will play a pivotal role in deciding which political party will govern the state come March.

The independent poll carried out by EMRS surveyed one thousand voters across the state's five electorates.

It found that forty seven per cent highlighted health and thirty six per cent of Tasmanians nominated education as the key issues in deciding which party to vote for in the March election.

Opposition parties say the results show Labor has failed to deliver in critical areas.

Greens Leader Nick McKim said "They show that after twelve years in government, Labor hasn't tackled the issues that really matter to Tasmanians."

The lobby group who commissioned the poll - says its a wake up call for ALL political parties.

Tom Muller from Our Island Our Voice said "We have some of the worst education outcomes in the country and these polling results clearly put the onus on Tasmanian political parties to explain what they will do."

The Labor Party insists it'll be campaigning on a wide range of issues.

ALP State Secretary, John Dowling said "The Labor Party understands that health and education are key issues for the community in Tasmania, just as jobs and the community are and they'll be issues the Labor Party will certainly be campaigning for in the lead-up to the next election."

The opposition parties admitting that the pulp mill, land tax and water and sewerage reforms are also high on the list of voter concerns.

Liberal MLC, vanessa Goodwin said "We've already announced a number of policies but of course we have more to come and we need to get out there and sell them to the Tasmanian community."

Also eager to have their concerns heard - stakeholders at a sustainability forum in Launceston.

The environment - number one on their election wish-list.

Tim Thorne from Now we the People said "We're looking at positive ideas for the future of Tasmania. Ideas that don't rely on the same old things which seem to be failing."

Vica Bailey from the Wilderness Society said "The environment is something people are going to be thinking about coming into this election and politicians should listen to the people."

The state's political leaders will get a chance to respond when they battle it out at the People's Debate in Hobart on Tuesday night.
