Abstract
With the amendment of the Public Official Election Act, the age of voting in an election was changed from 19 years old to 18 years old beginning in the 21st National Assembly election on April 15, 2020. The purpose of this study was to explore the direction of democratic citizenship education for youth with developmental disabilities who have the right to vote. Recognizing that t the expansion of youth political participation is a condition for a democracy to be realized, related laws and policies on the right for students with disabilities to participate were confirmed. In addition, we reviewed the content and scope of democratic citizenship education in the basic curriculum for special education. Finally, through election education conducted at special education schools among students with intellectual disabilities. we sought democratic citizenship education methods using creative experience activities. Based on this, we argued that the exercise of suffrage by adolescents, with disabilities was not enough to teach them how to participate in elections. Democratic citizenship education that recognizes and acts as a political subject was necessary, and the tasks for its implementation were discussed.
