The level of political efficacy is important in political participation, because the two are interrelated. Therefore, if a person's level of political efficacy is low, the level of political participation is also low. Researching the political efficacy level of disabled students is interesting, because for disabled voters they are not too interested in political life, because they consider their participation unable to provide significant changes, thus causing a low level of political efficacy. Meanwhile, the level of student political efficacy is high, because the level of education affects a person's level of political efficacy.
