Against this background the citizen is linked to the political system through the media, in addition to greater awareness of the phenomenon of power, perceived as something that the citizen is entitled. This paper analyzes the political-electoral participation of university students in the state of Nuevo Leon, to assessing the role of the media and its influence in shaping political attitudes. Therefore an explanatory model of electoral politics participation considering these variables is proposed.
