A. Almond. The research method used in this study is a qualitative research method.

The results of the research on the Role of the Aceh Party (PA) in Encouraging Political Participation of the Acehnese Community, based on the results of the research show that the Aceh Party has made several efforts to improve the quality and their role in providing political education in Aceh, this is shown by the existence of activity programs to improve the quality of Aceh Party's internal human resources and the community in order to realize good political education in districts/cities throughout Aceh. Obstacles and Challenges of the Aceh Party (PA) in Encouraging Community Political Participation in Aceh, based on the results of the study, the main inhibiting factor for the Aceh Party in carrying out its duties is related to access to gampongs that are difficult to travel due to long distances and difficult terrain.

So there needs to be good cooperation between local political parties and the community.
