Rendahnya tingkat partisipasi pemilih pemula menjadi salah satu masalah dalam sistem demokrasi. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran political engagement dan perceived political self-efficacy terhadap pengambilan keputusan politik pada pemilih muda. Subjek berjumlah 188 orang pemilih pemula dengan rentang usia 18-27 tahun. Tiga skala yang digunakan yaitu decision to vote scale, political engagement scale, dan perceived political self-efficacy scale. Seluruh skala yang digunakan dimodifikasi terlebih dahulu oleh peneliti agar sesuai dengan konteks penelitian. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa political engagement dan perceived political self-efficacy berperan secara simultan terhadap pengambilan keputusan politik (R2=.115, p < .01).
