Abstract

People's electoral behavior consists of an economic perspective that is the study of human rational preferences used in political decision making. Voting brings about the political goals that people want and must be done with careful consideration. A sociological perspective shows that economic status and society determines the different behavior of individuals in elections. The psychological perspective focuses on emotional factors or political affiliation. Election behavior is viewed as voting behavior as a phenomenon of participation in politics, a phenomenon that involves many people because human behavior in politics, economics and society comes from decition making each person's environment, personality, and interests. This line of thinking is of interest among academics in sociology, political science, and behavioral science. which pays attention to the influence of status economic and social aspects because they are seen as factors affecting people's voting behavior.
