Abstract
Female voters outnumber male voters. However, until now, many female politicians who have had to fail to compete in the general election compete with male politicians. This is a big question mark, what are the factors that make women^s voices in the 2019 general election whitewash. The informants were taken from residents of DKI Jakarta, who represented Central Jakarta, Jakarta, South Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta and East Jakarta that female voters chose female politicians based on attractive visuals, based on the party where the female politician joined, based on the vision and mission there are also who choose based on advice from friends and some even choose their own without a good reason. In addition, mass media and social media also have an influence in influencing the election of female politicians. Framing carried out by the mass media or imaging in the media will greatly affect female voters in determining their choice. Meanwhile, for the mass media, it is clear that they are not in favor of women politicians. The framing given often focuses on the sexuality of female politicians rather than on their performance or intelligence. In social media, many politicians are highlighted by netizens from the point of view of their beauty. This has a negative impact that affects female voters in determining their choice in the 2019 election.
