Our Electoral Unit

Electoral Unit 139 brings together the friends of several neighbouring communities in southern Orange County, California.

Communities

Friends of Unit 139

  • Rancho Santa Margarita
  • OC East*

*OC East includes the unincorporated communities of Ladera Ranch, Rancho Mission Viejo, Las Flores, Coto de Caza, and portions of Trabuco Canyon.

When establishing the electoral unit basis for the election of delegates, a National Spiritual Assembly should divide the territory under its jurisdiction into electoral units, based on the number of adult Bahá’ís in each area, in such a way that each unit will be responsible for electing preferably one delegate only.
Universal House of Justice, Messages from the Universal House of Justice: 1963–1986, message 433, p. 671

Though our communities are distinct, the delegate elected at Unit Convention represents the entire unit, and the friends serve one shared endeavour.
