Abstract
. This research investigates the attitude of the millennials on the current General Election demonstrated by their willingness to vote or not to vote, and why. The population of this study is the millennial generation who is eligible to vote, in this case university students. 118 random samples were taken randomly. An attitude scale is designed for the purpose of this research to measure the attitude and tendency of the students. The data is then analysed descriptively by employing political psychology as a conceptual lens to theorise the attitude. The findings reveal that positive perception of the Election helps students to act positively by using their vote, while negative perception renders them apathetic on the political process
