The evolution of social media platforms has transformed how Generation Z consumes information and shapes their views on various topics, including politics. This study aims to evaluate the impact of social media on the political mindset of Generation Z in Sorong and to identify which platforms are most influential in shaping political perceptions. A descriptive quantitative approach using purposive sampling was employed. Data were collected via an 11-question Google Form survey completed by 50 respondents, with 48 responses meeting the criteria for analysis. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics, presenting results in terms of frequencies and percentages. The findings indicate that TikTok (39.6%) and Instagram (35.4%) are the most frequently accessed social media platforms among Generation Z in Sorong. A majority of respondents (58.3%) believed that political information obtained from social media influenced their perspectives on political issues, while 47.9% acknowledged that their political viewpoints shifted after viewing political content. Furthermore, 60.4% of respondents found political information on social media easier to understand compared to traditional media, and an equal proportion (60.4%) stated that social media fostered their interest in political issues. This study confirms the crucial role of social media in shaping Generation Z's political views while highlighting the importance of digital literacy in filtering information and preventing the spread of misinformation in the digital age
