Abstract
The aim of the present study is to elaborate the ideas and concepts that motivate young voters to participate in elections through online campaigns. The paper is divided into three parts. The first part of the paper analyzes how some of the best political campaigns are used for motivating people to vote. The second theoretical part explores the notion of political participation and sheds light on the factors that affect civic engagement, as well as the specific components that must be considered while focusing on young people. Finally, the last part deals with methods and approaches that can be used to integrate young social media users into the conceptual design process of on-line campaigns, as well as to determine young people’s political participation behavior.
