This study examines the role of social media in shaping the religious and political orientation of Muslim women in Madura, Indonesia, as well as its implications for democratic development at the local level. The hypothesis posits that the intensity of social media use and online activity significantly influences women’s political views, especially by supporting the integration of religion and politics. The research employs a quantitative approach, using a survey of 400 respondents, supplemented by in-depth interviews with local religious figures. The findings reveal that social media largely reinforces conservative religious narratives. Rather than encouraging discourse aligned with feminist values – such as gender equality, autonomy, and inclusive participation – social media engagement among Muslim women tends to strengthen support for ulama leadership and the implementation of Islamic law. These findings indicate that while social media expands participation, it simultaneously reinforces patriarchal structures that challenge democratic and feminist ideals
