In the event that the Assembly assumes jurisdiction of the matter, its findings shall be final. (11) Where any dissension exists within a local Baha'i community of such character that it cannot be remedied by the efforts of the local spiritual assembly, this condition shall be referred by the local spiritual assembly for consideration to the Assembly, whose action in the matter shall be final. (12) All questions arising between two or more local spiritual assemblies, or between members of different Baha'i communities, shall be submitted to the Assembly, which shall have original and final jurisdiction in all such matters.

The Annual Convention shall be composed jointly of representatives chosen by the Baha'is of each authorized area, under the principle of proportionate representation, and the members of the Assembly. (2) Notice of the Annual Convention shall be given by the Assembly sixty days in advance in the Annual Convention Call which sets forth the number of delegates assigned to the various authorized areas in proportion to the number of Baha'is resident in each such area, up to a total number of at least 38 delegates for the Baha'is of Hong Kong or such larger number of delegates as the Assembly shall from time to time establish. (3) All delegates to the Annual Convention shall be elected by plurality vote by the voting members resident in the authorized area at times and places set by the Assembly. Baha'is who for illness or other unavoidable reasons are unable to be present at the election in person shall have the right to transmit their ballots to the meeting by mail. The meeting held in each authorized area for the election of delegates shall be called by the Assembly and conducted by the Baha'is present under whatever procedure may be uniformly laid down by said body. Immediately after the meeting a certified report of the election containing the name and address of each delegate shall be transmitted to the Assembly. (4) All delegates to be seated at the Annual Convention must be recognized Baha'is, voting members and residents of the authorized area represented by them. (5) The rights and privileges of a delegate may not be assigned nor may they be exercised by proxy. (6) The recognition and seating of delegates to the Annual Convention shall be vested in the Assembly. (7) Delegates unable to be present in person at the Annual Convention shall have the right to transmit their ballots for election of the members of the Assembly under whatever procedure is adopted by the Assembly. (8) If in any year the Assembly shall consider that it is impracticable or unwise to assemble together the delegates to the Annual Convention, the Assembly shall provide ways and means by which the annual election and the other essential business of the Annual Convention may be conducted by mail. (9) The presiding officer of the Assembly present at the Annual Convention shall call together the delegates, who after roll call shall proceed to the permanent organization of the meeting, electing by ballot a Chairman, a Secretary and such other officers as are necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Annual Convention. (10) The principal business of the Annual Convention shall be consultation on Baha'i activities, plans and policies, and the election of the nine members of the Assembly. Members of the Assembly, whether or not elected delegates, may take a full part in the consultation and discussion but only delegates may participate in the election of Annual Convention officers or in the annual election of the members of the Assembly. All action by the delegates, other than the organization of the Annual Convention and the election of the Assembly, shall constitute advice and recommendation for consideration by the Assembly, final decision on all matters concerning the affairs of the Baha'i Faith in Hong Kong being vested solely in that body. |
