<em>Recitation of the Al-Qur'an in Nagari Lawang Mandahiling, Kec. Salimpaung Kab. Tanah Datar West Sumatra is one of the branches of the Majelis Panjang Al-Qur'an Padang Panjang which is attended by the elderly who are usually known as the second group who are not much involved in intelligence activities such as memorizing the Qur'an. But in this study the researchers found that the elderly who participated in the study of the Al-Qur'an Council had been actively involved in the activities of studying the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an, memorizing and understanding it since 2014. This descriptive qualitative study aims to find out activities, secrets and factors underlying the ability of the elderly who are 60 years old and above in memorizing the Qur'an. Their activities are divided into six parts, namely the tahfidz preparation stage with motivation and tausiyah from the supervisor, then individual activities, daily activities, weekly activities, monthly activities and khataman activities for participants who have memorized one juz and are ready to perform the Qur’an memorization to the supervisor and pilgrims. The number of participants who have studied were six. Even though they have gone through the Khataman activities, this activity is not the end of the Tahfidz activity because they are still required to repeat their Qur’an memorization and increase their memory. The secret and the biggest factor that underlies the achievement of the Qur'anic verses in the elderly are internal factors in the form of the desire for old age to be filled with useful things and great rewards, love of the Qur'an, calm when interacting with the Qur'an and memorizing it, the desire to increase remembrance both in prayer or outside prayer, and faith and belief in the hereafter, in addition to other supporting external factors. </em>

This research is a descriptive qualitative research using in-depth interview method, literature study and documentation study. The findings in this study are that election management is still not maximal towards the fulfillment of the rights of disability voters in Padang Pariaman Regency in the election of the Governor and Deputy Governor of West Sumatra Province in 2015. Rule applications are often ignored by election organizers. This can be seen from the stages of socialization that were not carried out by the election organizers in this case the Padang Pariaman Regency KPU to voters with disabilities. In addition, there are still TPS that do not have access to disability voters. This has an impact on the low number of participation of voters with disabilities in the simultaneous election in 2015. Existing regulations are not in line with the technical implementation in the field.
