The increasingly higher level of political participation indicates that people follow, understand, and engange in national activities. Reversely, a low level of political participation generally indicates that people place less appreciation or interest in national affairs or activities.

In democratic perspective, golput attitude will of course has implication on development of democracy quality, so it needs democratization in facing democratic event of 2009.
