According to Praxis survey agency, TikTok is not the primary source of political information for most students.

Their survey found that the majority, or 66.43% of student respondents, prioritize online media as their main source of political information.

Praxis Indonesia's Director of Public Affairs, Sofyan Herbowo, stated that although young voters are keen on accessing political information online, they tend to be more cautious in selecting information.

"This understanding has positive consequences, namely an increased optimism towards young voters as a rational and critical group of voters," said Sofyan in a press release on Monday (22/1/2024).

Other primary sources of political information include Instagram (50.65%), television (47.15%), TikTok (41.86%), YouTube (36.96%), and Twitter (33.37%).

Meanwhile, only 21.08% of student respondents accessed political information from outdoor advertisements such as billboards, banners in public facilities, and public transportation.

This survey was conducted from January 1-8, 2024, involving 1,001 student respondents aged 16-25 years in 34 Indonesian provinces.

The survey sampling used a non-probability sampling technique, chain-referral sampling, and snowball sampling with a margin of error below 3% at a 98% confidence level.

Praxis also collaborated with the Election Corner (EC) Fisipol UGM to examine quantitative findings by conducting qualitative research on January 15, 2024.

This Focus Group Discussion (FGD) research involved four academics and student representatives from Universitas Indonesia (UI), Universitas Gadah Mada (UGM), Universitas Mulawarman (Unmul), and Universitas Nusa Cendana (Undana).
