- Abstract
The high number of absentee voters in the presidential and vice presidential elections can lead to a lack of authority in the eyes of the people. This study aims to determine the relationship of voter ideology, mistrust of political parties and the disappointment of the government with the absence of voters in the 2014 presidential election in Riau Province. The research data was collected in Kabaputen Rokan Hilir (Coastal Area), Meranti Islands (Island Islands) and Pekanbaru (Mainland) by questionnaire as many as 1,145 respondents. Data were analyzed using product moment correlation test. The result of the research shows significant relationship between the three independent variables with the absence of voters. The independent variables that have the most dominant relationship with voter absence are the disappointment of the government (r=,657**) and the distrust of the political party (r=,685**) versus the voter ideology variables (r=,524**). The seriousness of the central government and local government for the welfare of the people and the proof of promise by elite political parties after the election can reduce the level of voter absence
