The purpose of this study is to create a deeper understanding of the electoral participation of young people in Malmö city in the age of 18-29. The focus will be to examine their competence, sense of power and network in relation to political participation. The study's two questionnaires are: Why is the younger generation's turnout in Malmö city increasingly lower than other corresponding groups? What factors are behind the low turnout within the younger group in relation to "Political Efficacy"?The method is based on a qualitative content analysis and a hypothetical-deductive approach. This is to create a deeper meaning and to test different theses from the empirical material. The study's theory has been based on previously mentioned Political Efficacy. One of the more prominent and coherent results from the essay show that the informant's political self-esteem is low. The knowledge surrounding electoral participation requires great efforts for the young people to understand just how important it is that every vote in electoral participation counts.
