Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance the political literacy, awareness, and participation of first-time voters through the theme “Political Education for First-Time Voters: Realizing a Smart and Responsible Generation in Democracy”. The initiative is driven by the relatively low levels of political literacy among the youth and the growing challenges of hoaxes and disinformation in the digital era. The program was conducted at SMK PGRI Takokak on January 29, 2026, involving 50 twelfth-grade students and facilitated by lecturers from STISIP Guna Nusantara Cianjur. The methods employed included interactive lectures, group discussions, case studies on actual phenomena such as money politics and hoaxes, and a direct simulation of the general election process. The results indicate a significant increase in students' understanding of basic democratic concepts and their strategic role as citizens. Furthermore, students demonstrated improved critical thinking skills in filtering political information on social media. The election simulation provided practical experience that reinforced values of integrity and responsibility. In conclusion, this educational-participatory approach is effective in cultivating smart and critical first-time voters, which is essential for maintaining the quality of democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The effectiveness of government administration largely depends on the level of public compliance. However, the situation in Cianjur Regency indicates a persistent gap between government policy design and its implementation by the community. This study aims to examine the effects of Public Policy Quality and Government Communication on Public Trust and Community Compliance, while also investigating the mediating role of Public Trust and the moderating role of Political Awareness. Using a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method, data were collected from 310 respondents in Cianjur through purposive sampling and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that both Government Communication and Public Policy Quality have positive and significant effects on Public Trust. However, in influencing Community Compliance, only Government Communication demonstrates a significant direct effect. In contrast, Public Policy Quality, the mediating effect of Public Trust, and the moderating effect of Political Awareness do not show significant influences on Community Compliance. These results suggest that effective government communication serves as the most dominant instrument and primary determinant in ensuring citizens’ compliance with local government policies. This study contributes to the academic literature on the determinants of community compliance by providing empirical evidence regarding the roles of policy quality, government communication, public trust, and political awareness. Furthermore, it offers an empirical model for local governments to enhance governance effectiveness through communication-based strategies aimed at improving the implementation and success of public development programs.
