The Bahá'ís of the City of Houston, TX | The Beauty of Bahá'í Elections

Dear Friends,

The Annual Election – Tuesday, April 19 – Houston Bahá’í Center – 6:30pm.

When called upon to vote in a Bahá’í election, believers should be aware that they are carrying out a sacred task unique to this Dispensation. They should approach this duty in a prayerful attitude, seeking divine guidance and confirmation. As Shoghi Effendi has advised, they must turn completely to God, and
with a purity of motive, a freedom of spirit and a sanctity of heart, participate in the elections.

(Universal House of Justice Letter on Bahá’í Elections To the Bahá’ís of the World, 25 March 2007)
