Abstract

Participating in election activities through voting alone, has captured the slogans in the campaign. However, sometimes public participation is based on money politics during elections. Young voters are alleged to have a considerable contribution in voting. This study aims to identify and analyze the existence of money politics that can encourage participation from young voters in general elections. This research method uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. The source of data obtained comes from literature studies, so the data is obtained from reports or information from existing research results. Data analysis of this research uses Context Review, Historical Review, Theoretical Review, Integrative Review, Methodological Review, and Theoretical Review. The results and discussion are that people only hunt for rent by approaching candidates and parties ahead of elections in order to get money politics. Followed by identification and analysis of forms of political participation. The conclusion is that the forms of participation of the younger generation in the form of voting, political discussions, and campaigns still use money politics. But in building and following interest groups and individual communication to political or administrative officials there is no money politics.
