Abstract
This article wants to describe the presence of primordialism in the hoax in the DKI regional election. This is because the DKI Pilkada is a research reference with its characteristics. DKI Jakarta is Indonesias digital capital because of the highest internet penetration and the largest social media users, which is 3.5 million people. The abundant flow of information, massive campaigns, and high digital interaction turned out to be dealing with incorrect information, or better known as hoaxes. In the DKI Pilkada, there were around 1900 outstanding Hoaks. Primacy-themed Hoaks also threaten contestations based on rationality or compete with ideas, ideas, visions, missions, and programs. Millennials as the most intense generation of accessing information on the internet play roles to fight primordial themed hoaxes. The roles of the Millennial generation are carried out based on millennial activity in the voluntary movement. Especially millennials will play a very active role when the candidate they are carrying is the target of the primordial themed hoax
