The 2024 East Java gubernatorial election is one of the most important political contests in Indonesia, determining not only the direction of regional development but also the quality of democracy. This study aims to analyze the role of altruism in public political behavior and its influence on voter participation. Altruism is understood as a mindset that prioritizes public interests over personal interests, making it a crucial factor in determining political choices that are more focused on societal well-being. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, examining the vision, mission, and programs of the East Java gubernatorial candidates. The results of the study indicate that altruistic values encourage public participation in elections, whether through voting, campaign participation, or social support for candidates. Furthermore, altruism also serves as an indicator that helps voters assess the sincerity and integrity of prospective leaders. Candidates who demonstrate altruistic attitudes through pro-people programs tend to be more trusted and supported. Thus, the role of altruism not only strengthens public political participation but also builds public trust in the democratic process. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of value-based political education rooted in altruistic values to strengthen an inclusive, honest, and fair democracy.
