At that time the 2018 Central Java Pilgub was motivated by a political map that tended to be nationalist-religious and scrambled for votes among the Muslim community. Santri is one of the elements of the Muslim social class. Bothsides are from among the santri, namely Taj Yasin and Ida Fauziyah. The researchers were trying todo research on santri and were aiming to determine the level of participation and voting behavior of santri in Demak Regency in the 2018 Central Java’s governor election. This study used a quantitative method with a descriptive type of research.. The research was located in Demak Regency with cluster random sampling technique to determine the samples, and 96 respondents were taken as samples.
