The development of digital political information poses a significant challenge to society, especially to first-time voters. Limited knowledge of receiving this information is feared to harm the growth of political participation. This activity aims to overcome several problems related to digital political literacy faced by Generation Z, such as hoaxes, political efficacy, criteria for selecting ideal leaders, black campaigns, and the buzzer phenomenon. The method used is to conduct outreach to SMA Negeri 2 Rear Padang students. Implementation time starts in June-August 2023. The stages of this activity begin from the first, a pre-test is carried out to measure students' initial knowledge about politics. Second, the provision of material and discussion about political literacy. Third, a post-test was conducted to measure the increase in students' knowledge after participating in the digital political literacy program. Through socialization and digital political literacy training, students have gained better understanding about hoaxes, political efficacy, criteria for selecting ideal leaders, black campaigns, and buzzer phenomena in digital politics. The enthusiasm of the participants in participating in this activity proves the relevance and success of the program in overcoming digital political literacy problems among Generation Z.
