Transformasi demografi pemilih dan percepatan teknologi digital diproyeksikan menjadi faktor penentu dinamika politik Indonesia menjelang Pemilu 2029. Pada Pemilu 2024, Generasi Z dan Milenial mencapai sekitar 58,38% dari total Daftar Pemilih Tetap (DPT), dan diproyeksikan meningkat menjadi sekitar 61–65% pada Pemilu 2029. Kondisi ini menuntut partai politik mengubah orientasi komunikasi dari kampanye konvensional menjadi pendekatan berbasis data, teknologi digital, dan pembangunan kepercayaan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis karakteristik pemilih Generasi Z dan Milenial, mengidentifikasi tantangan komunikasi politik menuju Pemilu 2029, serta merumuskan model strategi komunikasi politik yang adaptif bagi partai politik. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kepustakaan (library research), memanfaatkan data resmi KPU, BPS, dan APJII serta literatur ilmiah nasional dan internasional, yang dianalisis melalui teknik analisis isi (content analysis) yang dipadukan dengan pendekatan SWOT dan PESTEL. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dominasi pemilih muda mengubah paradigma komunikasi politik dari pendekatan berpusat pada figur menuju komunikasi yang menekankan kredibilitas, interaksi, transparansi, dan bukti empiris, sementara perkembangan kecerdasan buatan, media sosial, disinformasi, dan fenomena creator politics menjadi tantangan sekaligus peluang. Penelitian ini menawarkan Data-Driven Political Communication Model (DDPCM) yang mengintegrasikan analisis data pemilih, segmentasi audiens, narasi berbasis isu, pemanfaatan kecerdasan buatan, penguatan komunitas digital, dan evaluasi berkelanjutan sebagai kerangka strategis menghadapi Pemilu 2029. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan elektoral partai politik ke depan tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kekuatan organisasi, tetapi juga oleh kemampuan mengelola komunikasi politik yang adaptif, berbasis data, dan berorientasi pada kepercayaan publik.
