Abstract	Disability is a diverse and complex phenomenon. It affects the social, economic, and political life of PWDs. This study aims to undercover the factors that influence the political participation of PWDs and explore the family life they experience. A chi-square test and Likert scale analysis were carried out on data obtained from the sample of 200 respondents. The study found that marital status, employment, types, and severity of disabilities significantly affects political participation of PWDs. Further, still larger proportions of PWDs were not involved in family decision making process, participate in family function and gathering, family help and support, and emotional senses of belongingness within their family.
