- Abstract
In postmodern society, the symptoms of political participation and the nature of democratic freedom have resulted in the phenomenon of money politics in election contestation. This can not only appear in political organizations and communities but also develops in other communities that have no political affiliation other than as citizens. Youth voters become one of the targets in the practice of money politics. Opinions and thoughts about rational choice are often used as justification. Youth is identified with people who think critically in politics. This article wants to examine how the attitude of young voters towards the phenomenon of money politics? An important question that has been a question for political and election experts in Indonesia. By using a qualitative method with a case study of the 2020 simultaneous regional elections in East Java. The implication of this research is the phenomenon of young voters who are rational and aware of their political participation, so that they are able to understand in depth the consequences of a political choice. With the nature of Generation Z, the logical consequence of the patron-client phenomenon that has been the hallmark of money politics in Indonesia will fade a little. Young voters will tend to ignore the practices of money politics, or tend to be apathetic to the existing political choices.
