37: CIVIL ELECTIONS (Voting in)
| |
1 |
"...No Bahá'í vote for an officer, no Bahá'í participation in
the affairs of the Republic, shall involve acceptance of a program
or policy that contravenes any vital principle, spiritual or
social, of the Faith.
| |
2 |
"...No vote cast, or office undertaken, by a Bahá'í should
necessarily constitute acceptance, by the voter or office holder,
of the entire program of any political party. No Bahá'í can be
regarded as either a Republican or Democrat, as such. He is
above all else, the supporter of the principles enunciated by
Bahá'u'lláh, with which, I am firmly convinced, the program
of no political party is completely harmonious."
