Abstract

This study aims to examine the efficacy of the election implementation by e-voting methods in increasing student participation in the digital age. At present, the implementation of general elections is less able to adapt to the times, attract the interest of novice voters and reduce abstentions. Therefore, the e-voting method is considered as an alternative media that can solve various problems. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study focused on student participation with e-voting in the digital era. The purpose of using the case study method is to find out how the e-voting method is implemented in the selection of student council leaders in schools. The results show the implementation of the e-voting method in the election of the student council president is the result of the creativity of students by utilizing laptops and the internet network as a medium plus the encouragement from the school to continue to develop it. The implementation of this election runs more effectively and efficiently compared to the conventional method which is enough to spend time, costs and human resources, the confidentiality of the data is guaranteed safe.
