Voters in key battleground electorates held by Teal MPs overwhelmingly want their representative to reveal which major party they will support in the likely event of a hung parliament.
Exclusive polling, obtained by Sky News Australia, shows voters in these seats want Teals to reveal which party they would support before casting a vote.
The polling also revealed that each community preferred their candidate supporting the Liberal Party but believed the independents will instead side with Labor.
The latest poll from Solutify Research, conducted for Australians for Prosperity, found at least two-thirds of voters want to know which party their candidates will endorse.
Each electorate had a sample size greater than 500 respondents.
Mackellar, held by Sophie Scamps, had the highest demand for transparency at 77 per cent followed by Wentworth, held by Allegra Spender, at 76 per cent.
Sixty-eight percent of voters in Kooyong, held by Monique Ryan, 72 per cent of voters in Goldstein, held by Zoe Daniel, and 66 per cent of Curtin voters, held by Kate Chaney, also expressed a desire for transparency.
The polling was commissioned by grassroots outfit Australians for Prosperity, which has plans to target marginal Labor and Teals seats at the upcoming election.
It comes as most polling indicates the most likely outcome of the federal election is a hung parliament, which will see the crossbench determine the minority government.
Many of these Teals, backed by the Climate 200 movement, have positioned themselves as centrist alternatives, rejecting the binary politics of the major parties.
However, with the prospect of a hung parliament looking more probable as polling tightens, the provision of confidence and supply to major parties has become crucial.
In such an event, crossbench MPs will wield considerable influence in determining who leads the country, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese or Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.
Mr Dutton has warned against supporting more independents, arguing that such a scenario could lead to “disaster”.
He has criticised Teal voting patterns, saying, “Kate Chaney, Zoe Daniel, Monique Ryan —80 per cent of the time they support the Greens”.
Despite this, he suggested that a deal with other crossbenchers might be achievable, especially if the Coalition were to secure 71 seats or more.
According to the latest Newspoll, Labor will win 70 seats, if the current polling holds. Seventy-six seats are required for a majority.
