Islamic Politics, First-Time Voters, Young Generation, Sorong, Political ParticipationAbstract
The development of democracy in Indonesia has opened broad space for the younger generation to participate in political life. First-time voters constitute a strategic group because of their significant numbers and their potential to shape the country's future political direction. In the context of Sorong City, a society marked by social and religious diversity, Islamic politics is a compelling subject of study, particularly with regard to how first-time voters understand the relationship between Islamic values and political activity. This study aims to analyze first-time voters' understanding of Islamic politics, their forms of political participation, and the factors that influence their political orientation in Sorong City. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive study method, drawing on observation, interviews, and literature review. The findings indicate that Muslim first-time voters in Sorong tend to understand Islamic politics not merely as a formal struggle through religion-based political parties, but also as the application of Islamic values such as justice, trustworthiness (amanah), social concern, and public responsibility. Social media, religious education, the family environment, and youth organizations emerge as important factors in shaping the political awareness of the younger generation
