Abstract:

This research study aims to examine the impact of social media on political participation among young adults. With the rise of social media platforms, there has been a significant shift in how individuals engage with political issues and express their opinions. This study seeks to explore the extent to which social media influences political participation among young adults, including their engagement in political discussions, online activism, and voting behavior. The research will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive data. The findings of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the role of social media in shaping political engagement among young adults and provide insights for policymakers and political campaigns on how to effectively engage this demographic.
