Every human has the same rights in the political contestation of a country, he has the right to be elected and also to vote. Disability groups as part of Indonesian citizens have the right to be actively involved in political activities. Undang-undang No. 7 tahun 2017 is the basis of reference for groups of persons with disabilities to apply to be elected in general elections, but reality shows low perception and trust towards groups of persons with disabilities, the unavailability of quotas and opportunities from supporting political parties. In West Sumatra, the level of political participation of the disabled group is still low. In Sumatera Barat regional head selection in 2020 , the average political participation rate for persons with disabilities only reached 35 percent. This study used descriptive qualitative method.
