Social media has emerged as a pivotal medium for the dissemination of political information and the facilitation of public engagement in addressing socio-political issues and public policies. The extent of this engagement is largely contingent upon the public's capacity to critically evaluate and interpret information. This study investigates the relationship between social media usage and the political participatory competence of residents in Environment VI, Sidorejo Village, Medan Tembung District. Utilizing a quantitative, correlational research design, data were gathered through observation, structured questionnaires, and documentary analysis, and subsequently examined using descriptive statistical methods. Based on responses from 30 participants, the findings reveal a significant positive correlation between active engagement with social media and heightened political participatory competence. These results substantiate the hypothesis that social media use enhances civic political capacity, underscoring its instrumental role in promoting informed political participation.
