This study aims to determine the correlation between political trust and the intention to vote for first-time voters. This correlational quantitative study involved 150 first-time voters who live in the city of Malang. The participants were obtained using a purposive sampling technique. Political trust is measured using the political trust scale (Akhrani, 2016) which has been modified by Imansari (2016) and refers to research by Lewicki, McAllister, & Bies (1998). The intention to choose is measured by modifying the intention to choose scale (Astriyani, 2018) which refers to the theory of Fishbein & Ajzen (1991). Analysis of the research data using the Pearson's Product Moment technique. The results of the study show that there is a positive correlation between political belief and voting intentions. The higher the political trust that novice voters have, the higher the intention to vote. This is supported by the value of p = 0.328 with a significance level of 0.000 (p <0.005).
