When one sees some inexperienced or immature Bahá'ís indulge
in electioneering, either openly or secretly, far from being tempted to imitate
them, one should resolutely arise and through proper administrative channels
and procedures assist in eradicating such tendencies and cleansing the Bahá'í
community from such evil influences.
