建立於障礙政治的現有理論基礎，本文嘗試以我國為研究案例，針對身心障礙者的投票參與行為進行初探性的研究。結果發現，障礙類別與等級是解釋身心障礙者是否投票的主要因素。至於年齡、教育等變項，則未具統計上的顯著影響力。此外，具政黨認同、關注媒體報導則對促進身心障礙者行使投票權有正面效果。最後，本文分別詢問有、無投票者對投票所無障礙環境的評價，研究結果發現，投票所的人為障礙環境不至於成為阻礙身心障礙者投票的關鍵因素。然而，本文也提醒：投票所無障礙環境只是社會提供身心障礙者無障礙環境的一小部分，其他影響更深遠的無障礙因素，例如身心障礙者教育程度的提升、大眾對身心障礙者負面刻板印象的改變等，應是未來更有待努力的目標。 As a preliminary study, this work attempts to explore voting participation of disabilities in Taiwan. Drawing from disability population of Taiwan, authors collect 1203 samples by telephone interview. There are several findings. First, category and degree of disability could be the key factor deciding participation. However, age and education do not show significant effect on voting participation. Second, both party identification and media attention could promote voting rate of disabilities. Third, no barrier environment is not an effective variable explaining voting participation of disabilities.
