Atlas of National Spiritual Assemblies

National Spiritual Assemblies are nine-member administrative bodies tasked with overseeing the affairs of the Bahá’í community of particular countries. Like Local Spiritual Assemblies, all National Spiritual Assemblies have nine members and are elected annually, usually during the Ridván Festival (April 21-May 2). The members of the National Spiritual Assemblies collectively serve as the electoral college for electing the Universal House of Justice.
