Abstract

Data mining clustering technique is used to classify the level of beginner voters using the K-Means method. Fixed voter clusters are used for decision making for stakeholders regarding information on beginner voters in each district and sub-district. The error calculation method is used to measure the level of error value for each distance calculation used, the distance calculation method used ie Euclidean, Manhattan, and Minkowski Distance with the Means Square Error (MSE) approach to measure the level of the error value. The calculation results show that the lowest error occurs in the calculation of the Minkowski Distance model 3 cluster, where the error rate is 11%, while the highest error rate occurs in the calculation of the Manhattan Distance model 5 cluster, which is 38%.

Highlights

Political participation is an important aspect in a democratic country structure as well as a characteristic of political modernization[1]
With the 3 cluster model, the error value obtained from each method is 21% for Euclideans, 29% for Manhattan, and 11% for Minkowski
The 4 cluster model for the error value obtained for each method is 18% for Euclideans, 37% for Manhattan, and 14% for Minkowski

Summary

Introduction

Political participation is an important aspect in a democratic country structure as well as a characteristic of political modernization[1]. An election to directly elect a government leader in a country or a region is a very crucial moment for a country, for this it must be accompanied by a high level of people's political participation[3]. In this case the desired participation is not just using the right to vote, but most importantly how the right to vote can be implemented with rational choices in order to provide the best leader for the country. Community of students or adults who are joining for the first time elections are called Beginner voters or they will vote for the first time because their age has just entered the voting age, are those who are Indonesian citizens who are 17 years of age and or more or have or have been married who have the right to vote, and are not previously voters because of the provisions of the Election Law
