Political literacy is conceptualized as an individual?s capacity to understand, internalize, and enact political awareness, operationalized through three dimensions: political knowledge, political efficacy/belief, and political behavior/action. Political preference is defined as an individual tendency to make political choices consciously and consistently, guided by substantive considerations such as candidates? programs and track records. Employing a quantitative survey design and a census approach among DEMA officials, this research collected data through a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25, including validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and simple linear regression. The results indicate a significant effect of political literacy on political preference. The R Square value of 0.445 suggests that political literacy explains 44.5% of the variance in political preference, while the remaining 55.5% is attributable to factors beyond the model. The regression coefficient is positive (b = 0.357), implying that higher political literacy is associated with stronger political preference. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening political literacy to improve the quality of political decision-making among first-time voters, particularly within politically engaged university students.
