Abstract
People have different interests, ideas and thoughts in terms of both their nature and their social and economic differences. Because of these different interests and ideas, conflict between people emerges as a natural result. One of the main reasons for this conflict is the desire to seize power. The starting point of politics lies in this conflict. Today, in modern democracies, the seizure of power is through elections. The sustainability of the system in modern democracies depends on obtaining the consent of the people at every stage of the political processes. The share of the voters' consent in the formation of their voting behavior is seen as the main criterion. Gaining the consent of the voters is the most important goal of those who want to come to power. In this case, it is an important issue for policy makers how the voters' consent is formed while voting. The study includes the examination of the demographic and socio-cultural variables of the voting behavior of the students studying at the Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences in the context of political consent. The fact that this study was conducted for the people, mostly Z-generation, on the subject of political consent, reveals the originality and importance of the study. In the study, the political consent scale developed by Ceylan et al. (2019) was used and analyzed with the help of the SPSS program. When the study is evaluated in general, it is seen that the participants are in voting behavior by doing research about candidates and parties and giving importance to merit. In addition, the participants are unwilling to vote for a candidate whose intentions they doubt and understand that he is lying.
