2019 LOK SABHA ELECTIONS - #MYFIRSTVOTEFORMODI

Soon after Election Commission announced schedule for the 2019 General Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter urging the first-time voters to come out in record numbers.

“The Festival of democracy, Elections are here. I urge my fellow Indians to enrich the 2019 Lok Sabha election with their active participation. I hope this election will witness a historic turn out. I particularly call upon first time voters to vote in record numbers,” Modi tweeted.

With less than 48 hours to go before the first phase of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections the Bharatiya Janata Party dropped a video advertisement on social media aimed exclusively at the first-time voters in the country. The 15 million strong voter base, composed of 18-19 year olds, comprises 1.67 per cent of the total voter base in the country.
