A Local Spiritual Assembly is a governing body in the Bahá'í Faith that oversees the affairs of a local community. It is composed of elected members who serve for one year, ensuring that the community's spiritual and administrative needs are met. The Assembly promotes unity, organizes activities, and supports the development of the community. Elections for the Local Spiritual Assembly occur annually, typically on the first day of the Ridván festival. Members are chosen through a process that emphasizes consultation and collective decision-making, reflecting the Bahá'í principles of democracy and community involvement.
