Abstract

Elections should be able to guarantee the implementation of the constitutional rights of every citizen including persons with disabilities but in reality the political participation of people with disabilities in the 2019 elections in Purwakarta has not been fully fulfilled. The study aims to determine the political participation of persons with disabilities in the 2019 elections in Purwakarta. The method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. The results of the study are still relatively low in voting or 33 percent voting and the lack of availability of data sources of persons with disabilities by the KPU, socialization in election 2019, the lack of observance of the organizers of the (KPPS ) in building access polling stations (TPS), and there are still negative framing of some voters in inequality for disability voters in using their voting rights. It can be concluded that the participation of persons with disabilities in the 2019 elections in Purwakarta district is not yet optimal.
