It is also quite permissible for a National Spiritual
Assembly to debar an individual believer from serving on a Local Spiritual
Assembly without removing his or her voting rights and they may also debar a
believer from attending the consultative part of a Nineteen Day Feast. You may
also debar a believer from voting in elections without imposing all the other
administrative sanctions involved in administrative expulsion.
There are, of course, other sanctions than those mentioned
in the above extract which can be imposed, such as debarring a believer from
contributing to the Fund, debarring such a believer from serving on committees,
debarring him from representing the Faith in public.

Spiritual Assembly of Canada; compilation: ‘Removal of Administrative Rights’,
