This community service activity aims to increase political awareness among housewives in Kampung Kokok through inclusive and easy-to-understand political education. The methods used in this activity include religious studies and door-to-door socialization, with a focus on raising political awareness and providing relevant information. The results show that both methods are effective in enhancing housewives' knowledge about the pilkada and encouraging their participation in the election process. Significant improvements were observed in understanding the election mechanism and the importance of voting rights, although challenges arose due to limited literacy among participants.
