[5] In the elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in 2021, the Party of the Direct Democracy won 5.93% of the vote, winning one seat.

At the same time, the party refuses to approve any official ideology, since the policy of elected deputies should be determined directly on the ground by voters.
