Interaction with a believer who has lost his voting rights - 1 November 1973
The degree to which a community should be active or passive
towards a believer who is deprived of his voting rights depends upon the
circumstances in each individual case. Obviously, it is desirable that such a
person should come to see the error of his ways and rectify his condition. In
some cases friendly approaches by the Bahá'ís may help to attain this; in other
cases the individual may react more favorably if left to his own devices for a
time.
