Letter to the voters
Click here to email the Vancouver Assembly regarding the Unit Convention.

Some material related to the nature of the Bahá’í Election is listed below. These material can be used for deepening, reflection and preparation for the sacred nature of the duty ahead of us.

From the National Assembly:

The National Spiritual Assembly has written to Local Spiritual Assemblies to ask that we advise “the friends that information about the 2017 unit conventions in Canada is now available at www.uc-cc.bahai.ca. The website offers some general guidance about unit conventions, as well as logistical information about the gatherings being held across the country. Believers who have not yet received notice of their unit convention may visit the website to find out which electoral unit they are a part of and what arrangements have been made for the election in their unit.

Please note that although access to the website is not restricted, the conventions are for registered Bahá’ís only.”
