On the election day, the friends must whole-heartedly
participate in the elections, in unity and amity, turning their hearts to God,
detached from all things but Him, seeking His guidance and supplicating His aid
and bounty.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a message dated 27 February 1923 to the Bahá'ís of the
East - translated from the Persian; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. 3,
Sanctity and Nature of Bahá'í Elections)
