Depending on how/where the LDPR code was entered into the advantage system, it could be stored in different places for different employees.

Thousands of candidates belonging to 23 parties competed for some 110 million votes but only 55.7% of voters cast their ballots, slightly up from the previous elections in 1999 when the response was 53 percent.
The latter two parties are likely to act as Putin’s allies: Zhirinovsky’s LDPR had supported the president on all key issues in the old Duma, while the Rodina is widely perceived as a Kremlin-approved group that enjoyed its tacit support in order to undermine the Communists.
Zhirinovsky is unlikely ever to repeat his 1993 success when he won more than one-fifth of the vote, and 12-15% range is his party’s likely niche for the foreseeable future.

Ratification of the START II strategic arms treaty was in the headlines once again yesterday, as the council of the Russian State Duma rejected a motion which would have put consideration of the treaty on the Duma's March 5 agenda.
He also described the LDPR move as a "provocation," one which was designed, he suggested, not to advance the treaty's chances but "to demolish the law on ratification entirely." The Duma Council decided instead to refer the treaty ratification law for further consideration to four parliamentary committees--on defense, security, international affairs and geopolitics.
In remarks to the press, Aleksei Mitrofanov, an LDPR member who is also head of the Duma's Geopolitics Committee, said that the LDPR had changed its position because it saw that the United States was likely to violate the ABM treaty.
