The political electoral participation of university students can vary from country to country. In some places, university students are considered an active group in politics and have broad participation in elections and political movements. In others, there may be legal or cultural restrictions that limit their participation. Therefore, we conducted a study framed within the descriptive quantitative paradigm and a cross-sectional design, with the objective of determining the political participation of University of Panama students and the possible causes that may limit students from being active participants in these processes. The sample consisted of 200 students from the faculties of Law, Medicine, Economics, Public Administration, Business Administration, Pharmacy, Social Communication, and Humanities. The results obtained indicate a relatively low level of student participation, as approximately 35% stated that they took part in the last elections. The main reasons for not participating were cited as: lack of credibility, lack of information, corruption, little attention to student demands, particularism, and lack of time."
