One form of political participation is the participation of the public or citizens in general elections (Pemilu). Election is the will of the people or the desire of the people so that there is a change for the better through the election of the people's representatives, the President and regional heads (Zuhro, 2019).

Gender
In the culture of various nations it is said that basically the place of women in many societies the role of women is primarily to take care of the household, but over time the value of the role of women has shifted due to the participation process. This participation occurs when everyone can put forward views, discuss the subject matter, raise objections against other people's wishes or against what they say (Roles & Identity, 1999).

Education
Education is one of the absolute conditions for participation. Education is considered to be able to influence a person's attitude in life towards their environment, an attitude that is necessary for the improvement of the welfare of the entire community (Ingleby, 2012).

Work and Income
These cannot be separated from each other because a person's job will determine how much income he will get. A good job and income that is sufficient for daily needs can encourage a person to participate in community activities. To participate in an activity, it must be supported by a wellestablished economic atmosphere.

Length of stay.
The length of time a person lives in a certain environment and his experience interacting with that environment will affect one's participation. The longer he lives in a certain environment, the sense of belonging to the environment tends to be more visible in his large participation in each environmental activity (Bayram & Şancı, 2019).
In the implementation of the Election, there are first-time voters who participate in or have the right to vote to participate in the implementation of the legislative elections, the President or regional heads.

In fact, every time a Presidential Election is held, many new voters do not exercise their voting rights on the grounds that there are no changes that are relatively better for their welfare. If apathy and the like are shared by the younger generation who are members of the first-time voters, the future political system will be significantly affected (Leonard, 2019).
The results of interviews with several students at SMA N 2 Raha who had become first-time voters during the 2020 Presidential Election, they said that they chose the President based on suggestions from their parents, peers, and the influence of both print and electronic media, while according to some students who did not participate in politics in the 2020 Presidential Election, they gave the reason that according to them there was no real change in the government system for a better direction after the Election was held, they also thought that the presidential election was just a formality and the leaders only made promises not to realize it. In addition, another thing that affects the political participation of these students is the absence of socialization about the Election by the KPU (General Election Commission) in schools, which results in lower student knowledge about the Election (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017).
