This study was devoted to finding a model for strengthening political interest among millennial young women to predict their pronounced increase in this area. Employing a quantitative explanatory method with a survey, 121 female students at As-Syafi’iyah Islamic University, Jakarta, Indonesia were involved as the respondents. The data was analyzed using a descriptive analysis of the mean and multiple regression analysis supported by the SPSS program. The results revealed that a) the average political interest (Y) score (mean) of millennial young women was still low, their average level of political awareness was only moderate, and political competence was assessed at a low level; b) political awareness and political competence simultaneously correlate with political interest The correlation between both political awareness and political competence on the one hand and political interest in the other is positive and strong, with these two elements between them contributing 52.2% of the factors influencing political interest; the other 47.8% derives from other factors; c) the mathematical model to boost the political interest of millennial young women by using the factors of political awareness and political competence was Y = 0.610 + 0.286 X1 + 0.427 X2; d) political competence was more influential than political awareness in increasing the political interest of millennial young women; e) efforts to improve the political competence of such women in the digital era should utilize technology-based media, namely Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and the like. © 2021, Research Institute of Asian Women.
