Voting behavior which is the first form that comes to mind of political participation, has been influenced by the individual’s socioeconomic and social psychological processes in the society.

In this study which was conducted to examine the relationship between the media usage habits of school of communication students and voting behaviors in the example of the 16th April Constitutional Referendum, has been concluded that the influence of communication mediums on the participation of students in political decisions is limited.
