The No Land Tax party is unable to say if its candidate for Bega at the weekend's New South Wales election is still alive.

Clyde Robert Archard was listed as living in Vincentia in the South Coast electorate, but the ABC was not able to contact Mr Archard and there had been reports he was dead.

Fairfax Media reported the only Clyde Robert Archard it could find died as a prisoner of war in Borneo in 1945.

The party's leader, Peter Jones, told ABC South East he had only met half the party's candidates and did not remember ever having met the Bega candidate.

He said it "would be very sad" if Mr Archard had died.

Mr Archard received 2.3 per cent of the votes in the Bega electorate at the weekend.

Labor, Libs slam mystery candidate

Re-elected Bega MP Andrew Constance said he was concerned about the mystery surrounding his No Land Tax opponent.

"I'd like to see candidates' photographs produced and put up on the [Electoral] Commission website, and their mobile phone details put up on the website, so they can be available for the community to be able to call and ask questions," he said.

Labor's Bega candidate, Leanne Atkinson, listed Mr Archard third in her preferences, above the Liberal and Christian Democrat candidates for the seat.

But she said it was disappointing he lived outside the electorate.

"[He is] a person that nobody has sighted and a person who is not invested in the community," she said.

"How on Earth can they speak on behalf of a community if they neither understand nor know anybody who is there?"

Ad confuses election worker

A young woman from south-east NSW said she mistakenly ended up working for the No Land Tax party on election day.

The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she answered an advertisement she thought was for work with the NSW Electoral Commission.

But she said it turned out to be the No Land Tax group.

"They sent me something in the mail and I opened it and it was a big box of flyers for this group of people that I'd never heard of," she said.

"That was about two days before the election.

"I kind of thought I'd already said I'd do it so I really couldn't go back on my word.

"So I ended up handing out flyers for somebody I didn't know about."
