Abstract: Popularization of network technology and development of online political participation expand approaches of young migrant workers participating in political affairs and raise interest and ability of young migrant workers participating in political affairs. Through questionnaire of young migrant workers participating in political affairs in Xi’an, Xianyang and Yangling, the survey team found that political participation of young migrant workers takes on following characteristics: active and positive online political concern, passive and profit seeking online political expression, and claim of right. Besides, online political participation of young migrant workers is related to region, cultural level, and occupation, but not related with their political status. Based on this survey, it came up with recommendations: governments at all levels should strengthen network information construction, carry out theoretical and practical training for online political participation of young migrant workers, establish online political participation government feedback mechanism and enhance party organization construction, and bring into play the lead model role of party members of young migrant workers in online political participation.
