<![CDATA[Amidst the growing challenge of rising voter abstention (Golput) in every General Election (Pemilu), Civic Education serves as a strategic subject in political education, particularly for first-time voters. This study employs a content analysis method with a descriptive qualitative approach, using the political education material for first-time voters as the unit of analysis.
