Political participation is vital for the establishment, preservation, and continuity of democracy in any country. However, understanding the factors influencing its extent and quality, especially within the context of developing countries with extensive regional variations, has been a primary concern for political science researchers. This research, with a distinct approach, aimed to explain the relationship between the development pattern and political participation in the provinces of our country.The research was applied in terms of its objective and categorized as a quantitative study due to the use of statistical methods. To determine the level of development, 28 indicators were used, and for political participation, 2 indicators were employed. Weighting of indicators in the FANP factor analysis model and the determination of the development level were achieved using the VIKOR model. Furthermore, GIS was utilized to analyze the geographical patterns of political participation and development, and a linear regression model was used to determine the effect of these factors.The results indicate that although there is an uneven and varied pattern in the distribution of political participation and development in our country, there is a positive and significant relationship between them. Among the factors of development, human, financial, and infrastructural resources are considered significant and determining factors in increasing political participation; however, the “Human Capital” factor did not have a statistically significant impact. Therefore, it is clear that if the current (multi-polar) development pattern in our country remains stable, political participation is also expected to remain in a “Polar” or heterogeneous pattern. This means that regional and provincial differences in development will lead to similar differences in the levels of political participation, and existing gaps in this area will persist.
