Abstract :
Statement of Problem: The concept and theory of social capital during the 1990s has been met with considerable interest from scholars and scholars in various fields of social sciences (economics, sociology, political science, etc.). The research method: in this research is descriptive-analytical. The main purpose of this paper is to answer the reason for this issue and explain it. Collection method is a combination of library and field method. Research findings: Social capital has a key role to play in the participation of the people in the elections and will increase the participation of citizens in any way that adds to the social capital of the community. Findings of the research show that there is a significant relationship between social trust and electoral participation. On the other hand, there is a meaningful relationship between social networking networks and also between the degree of cohesion and social solidarity and their participation in elections. With the difference that, as far as the recognition of the elections in the smaller area is concerned, there is more trust and relations, and to any extent this area, there is less trust and participation, so that participation in city councils is more than parliamentary and presidential elections.
