Abstract ABSTRACT

This scoping review mapped out the political behavior and preferences of young Filipino voters, a crucial demographic in the Philippines' electoral landscape. Synthesizing findings from (26) twenty-six studies published over the last two decades, the review identified vital factors influencing young voters' electoral choices, including social media engagement, peer influence, political ideology, socioeconomic factors, candidate characteristics, and educational background. The reviewed studies employ various methodological approaches, such as qualitative interviews and quantitative analyses. However, only (7) seven theoretical frameworks were identified across all (26) twenty-six studies. Despite a growing scholarly interest in youth participation in democratic processes, significant gaps remain in the literature. These include the need for empirical studies on the motivations behind voting choices, investigations into how preferences translate into sustained political engagement, an examination of what and how political ideologies manifest in behaviors, and longitudinal research on how these preferences evolve with socio-political changes. Moreover, the review will contribute to existing knowledge by mapping current research and offering recommendations for future studies aimed at enhancing political engagement strategies tailored to young Filipinos.
