This community service program entitled “Building Democratic Character through the KPU Community Service Program: Realizing Integrity-Based Students in Mataram” was implemented as an effort to strengthen democratic literacy, instill integrity values, and enhance students’ awareness of participatory engagement in social, national, and state life. The background of this activity is based on the importance of democratic education from an early age, considering that students represent the young generation who will later play an active role as citizens in sustaining democracy. The implementation of the program was carried out in collaboration with the General Elections Commission (KPU) in Mataram, using interactive socialization methods, group discussions, democratic simulations, participatory practices, and descriptive evaluation. The preparation phase involved internal coordination of the implementation team to develop materials, formulate implementation strategies, and systematically assign tasks. The implementation phase focused on a voting simulation resembling actual electoral procedures, allowing participants to gain direct experience of democratic mechanisms and the importance of order, honesty, responsibility, and respect for collective decisions. The evaluation phase was conducted through observation of participant engagement, reflective discussions, and assessment of participants’ understanding of the delivered materials. The results show that a participatory, simulation-based approach effectively improved participants’ understanding of democratic principles, strengthened integrity values, and encouraged active involvement in collective decision-making processes.
