The Administrative Order was further developed by the Universal House of Justice in its message to the Conference of the Continental Boards of Counselors of
9 January 2001 in which the concept of the "cluster" was first introduced. The cluster, a subdivision of the region, is to be formed on the basis of cultural, language, pattern of transport, infrastructure or the social life of the inhabitants.
In its message of 12 December 2011 the Universal House of Justice stated that the cluster should have three coordinators appointed by the Training Institute, one concerned with study circles, junior youth groups and a third for children's classes.
National Assemblies
worldwide divided their countries into clusters on the basis of demographic, geographic, and
socio-economic factors. A third of the resulting 15,000 clusters were in Africa.
TP176 says that there are now (17 January 2003) close to 17,000 clusters worldwide, excluding those countries where, for one reason or another, the
operation of the Faith is restricted. The number of clusters per
country varies widely—from India with its 1,580 to Singapore,
which necessarily sees itself as one cluster. Some of the groupings are sparsely populated areas with only a few thousand
inhabitants, while the boundaries of others encompass several
million people. For the most part, large urban centers under
the jurisdiction of one Local Spiritual Assembly have been designated single clusters, these in turn being divided into sectors,
so as to facilitate planning and implementation. |

In a letter to National Spiritual Assemblies, communities were encouraged to establish electoral units on the basis of the cluster. The population of the country is divided by the number of National Convention delegates allowed by the Universal House of Justice to determine the number of electors per delegate. [4 August 2016]
