On 9 August 2024, the list association was approved by the State Election Committee to participate in the state election after it had submitted the required number of supporting signatures.^[3][4][5] The list association ran in the state elections with a state list consisting of 17 candidates and with direct candidates in a total of twelve of the 44 Brandenburg constituencies.^[6][7]

According to the final results, the list alliance received 13,584 second votes (0.9%), less than the sum of second votes for the Pirate Party (0.7%) and the ÖDP (0.6%) combined in 2019.^[8]
