Abstract

The change in government leadership after the 14th General Election has undoubtedly marked an important milestone in history after more than 60 years of Barisan Nasional controlling the country's leadership. The new leadership that is so committed ensures that the country continues to develop and sustain the community's agenda towards a more progressive. The objective of this study is to analyse the demographic factors of young voters towards the change in support for government leadership. The quantitative research involved 384 respondents representing seven states that experienced changes in support for government leadership. The study was conducted using a survey method by distributing questionnaires based on stratified random and simple sampling. The data obtained from the field was then analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 26.0. The data was analysed using descriptive analysis to obtain inferential analysis to test the study hypothesis. The study results showed demographic differences in young voters in the polling place and residential area towards changes in support for government leaders. The findings of this study have significant implications for the government in ensuring that the highlighted leaders can shoulder fair responsibilities in realising the wishes and dreams of voters and moving towards a superior, civilised country.
