delegate election / 19 day feast

It was a wonderful day yesterday. At first, I went to a great “Soul food and brunch” devotional at my friend’s Nora Tönnis place. We were about 12 people there, I guess a few of them were not Baha’is and we shared some beautiful prayers, texts and songs. Then, in the evening, I went to the 19 day feast at the viennese Baha’i house. The feast was preceded by an election of 9 delegates for the national convention that will take place in April. We got lists with names of people eligible and I saw there were 215 people on the list! But only about 50 in the room. Finally, the amount of people that actually voted was 68. What can be done that this number is bigger next year?
