Participation in Bahá'í elections is “a spiritual obligation”
The aim should always be so to educate the friends during
the year that they consider their participation in Bahá'í elections not only as
a right they exercise, but as a spiritual obligation which, when discharged in
the proper Bahá'í spirit, contributes to the health and growth of the Bahá'í
community.
