📄 Abstract
Youth political participation continues to fall short of expectations. This study aims to examine the role of civic education, political motivation, political capacity, and recruitment networks as predictors of political engagement among young electorate voters. By utilizing multiple linear regression analysis, 280 senior high school students were selected through simple random sampling as respondents. The findings indicated that political capacity and recruitment networks significantly influenced youth political participation, offering partial support for the Civic Voluntarism Model. Future research could investigate additional variables to explain the remaining 91.8% variance in the criterion variable. Moreover, efforts to enhance education on political capacity and strengthen recruitment networks may further encourage youth political engagement, aligning with the goals of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4).
