Apart from twitter PM Modi also used his personal Blog to encourage people to vote. He shared a link where people can register as voters. Stating to the fact that the 2019 elections are special because for the first time those born in the 21st century will be able to cast their votes.

The prime minister said not voting should create "anguish" amongst people who do not turn up at polling stations. "Would you want a situation where something happens in the country that you disapprove of and you are forced to think - because I did not go vote that day, this unfortunate situation has arisen and the nation is suffering," PM Modi wrote on his blog. He further added that voting is among a citizen's prime duties. "A vote signifies the willingness to contribute to the development trajectory of the nation. By voting, people connect themselves with the country's dreams and aspirations," he wrote.

Because .it’s all about loving your democracy (and strengthening it). :)’ and ‘Dear @BeingSalmanKhan and @aamir_khan, It is time to inspire and motivate youth in your own Andaz to vote so that we can strengthen Apna Democracy & Apna country.’

The upcoming Lok Sabha election shall be held between April 11 and May 19 for 543 seats. The counting of votes and final results of the elections shall be announced on May 23, 2019. “Spare yourself from that regret and go vote,” advised Modi.
