According to a survey by Muda Bicara ID, the intensity of young people in Indonesia following political issues on social media is relatively high.

This intensity is at a "very often" level, chosen by 42.80% of respondents, and "quite often" by 49%.

Meanwhile, young people who rarely follow political issues on social media account for 7.50%, and those who never do so at all are 0.70%.

With these results, Muda Bicara ID stated that politics has become a routine part of the digital information consumption of young people in the country.

When accessing political information, social media accounts belonging to mass media outlets remain the primary reference, with a percentage of 52.4%.

However, the proportion of young people who use social media accounts belonging to academics as a reference for political information is relatively low, at only 2.4%.

The survey was conducted from November 10 to December 10, 2025, and involved 800 respondents aged 17-40 from across Indonesia. It used computer-assisted self-interviewing and stratified random sampling methods with a margin of error of 5%.
