Author(s) Zoramthanga

Abstract This study examines the voting behaviors and perceptions of the urban youth in Aizawl District during the Seventh Mizoram Legislative Assembly elections of 2013. Focusing on two urban neighborhoods, Vaivakawn and Zemabawk, it analyzes the political engagement and affiliations of 60 young voters using Simple Random Sampling. The research categorizes these individuals by occupation and investigates their attitudes towards political parties and their influences on voting decisions. Results show a significant detachment from political parties among the urban youth, with a large majority displaying a lack of trust in political entities and a low interest in the electoral processes outside of election periods. Key factors influencing voting behavior include family affiliations and the effectiveness of party manifestos. The study reveals a stark apathy towards politics among the young urban electorate, suggesting a need for political parties to engage more effectively with this demographic to enhance their participation in democratic processes.
