The administrative process by which a person who has declared his or her belief in Bahá'u'lláh officially becomes a member of the Bahá'í community, enjoying the rights and privileges of membership including voting in Bahá'í elections, attending Nineteen Day Feasts and serving in elective and appointed administrative positions. Each national spiritual assembly determines the manner for registering new believers. In most countries this involves signing a card stating one's desire to become enrolled in the Bahá'í community. |
