With the advantages of Instagram which is a photo and video posting service, Instagram is not only used for fun but is also used as a source of political information. One of the uses of Instagram content as a source of political information was carried out by President Joko Widodo. In the 2019 election, for the second period, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) ran for the Republic of Indonesia presidential candidate together with Ma'ruf Amin. The use of Jokowi's Instagram was an effort in conveying his political messages to attract the public, especially beginner voters. This study aims to determine whether there is an influence and how much is the influence of Jokowi's Instagram content on the participation of beginner voters in the 2019 general election. This research uses a quantitative method and distributed 96 questionnaires to followers of Jokowi’s Instagram account. Hypotheses testing has been done by doing regression tests, coefficient of determination and f-test.

It can be concluded that Joko Widodo’s Instagram content has a significant impact on the participation of beginner voters in the 2019 general election.
