Abstract

Democracy has broad consequences, not only the democratization of the person and the social structure, but the democratic system applied must also be directed to change the political attitude of the individual and contribute to the renewal of the political system and change the structure of his society. This began when the people were involved in the election which was built through education and political participation. The implementation of Indonesian political democracy through elections still leaves practical problems that demand analysis of critical thinking. The dynamics of political democracy in elections for the millennial generation as first-time voters revolve around trust and distrust of political contestants, thus affecting the level of political participation. This study aims to describe and analyze the dynamics of political democracy in the perspective of the relationship between political education and millennial generation participation in the 2019 elections in Bandung using descriptive survey methods. The results of the study concluded that the relationship between political education and political participation of the millennial generation in the 2019 Indonesian elections was quite strong and significant; this shows that political education is needed to reduce the number of abstentions and increase the political participation of citizens.
