Abstract

This paper aims to produce concepts in the form of normative and theoretical ideas based on facts regarding the role of the millennial generation as novice voters who are faced with the 5.0 era as the evolutionary era of human civilization, where the community is expected to be able to solve social challenges and problems in the 4.0 industrial revolution era which is centered on technology. The author raises this topic because political decisions can affect all aspects of life, so the political awareness of this society must start from the younger generation as the holders of the baton. In addition, the participation of the younger generation in politics, especially the implementation of their voting rights, tends to be not maximized, so it needs to be strengthened in all aspects of both formal and non-formal education. This study shows that the strategy in implementing political education in universities for millennial voters is by- integration of the independent curriculum for independent campus learning and its implementation in the tri dharma of higher education, development of student organizations to facilitate political education, maximizing political practice through succession to internal campus organizations, forming democratic ambassadors through election events in each faculty who act as volunteers, to give birth to intelligent and rational voters.
