Considering the numerous barriers to political participation faced by people with disabilities – such as architectural, attitudinal, communicational, technological, and procedural obstacles – this study examines how the electoral judiciary and political parties are working to promote electoral accessibility, both in terms of voting and candidacies among people with disabilities. The study looks at two main aspects: first, it analyzes the Electoral Accessibility Program; second, it examines whether inclusion committees for people with disabilities in political parties help increase the number of candidacies from this group.
