This program is based on empowering rural/kelurahan communities to become facilitators of voter education for others. This program is similar to the volunteer democracy program that was launched ahead of the 2014 and 2019 elections, but the difference lies in the burden of work and funding. This paper is the result of community service activities (PKM) carried out by a PPKn lecturer at Riau University in Dumai City. The method used in this service activity is socialization and discussion to the community who have been appointed and given the mandate as village cadres who care about elections and elections. The socialization begins with the elaboration of the legal rules regarding the program, its objectives and what important role can be played by cadres as facilitators of voter education, while the discussion begins with brainstorming, lectures and question and answer activities. Based on the survey conducted at the end of the activity, the following results were found: (1) cadres have a better understanding of their roles and functions as facilitators of voter education; (2) cadres become more motivated in carrying out their duties.
