Abstract

Every citizen has equal rights in political affairs, including the right to vote and be elected in general elections. National legal systems and democratic norms have opened access for persons with disabilities to fully participate in political processes. However, in practice, the fulfillment of these rights still faces various obstacles, including issues of accessibility, lack of understanding among election officers, and limited political education for people with disabilities. The disparity in services and participation indicates that the principle of inclusivity has not yet been fully realized in regional electoral processes. This article aims to examine the fulfillment of political rights for persons with disabilities in the 2019 Presidential Election by the Independent Election Commission (KIP) of Langsa City and to analyze its implementation from the perspective of fiqh siyasah (Islamic political jurisprudence). This research is classified as field research using a descriptive qualitative approach, supported by primary data collected through interviews and documentation, as well as secondary data from regulations and relevant literature. The findings show that KIP Langsa has made efforts through programs such as ballot templates, accessible polling stations, and educational media for persons with disabilities. However, there are still technical and cultural barriers that hinder full participation. From the perspective of fiqh siyasah, the state holds the responsibility of ri’ayah al-ummah (care for the people) to ensure justice and public welfare through inclusive and equitable political services.
