Rajasthan Sends Birthday Letters to 18-Year-Olds Urging Voter Registration
Rajasthan's government, led by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, has initiated a campaign sending personalized birthday letters to 18-year-olds, encouraging them to register as voters. Since July, around 80,000 physical letters have been dispatched, highlighting the responsibilities of adulthood and invoking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message on youth's role in nation-building. The initiative aims to engage first-time voters and strengthen democratic participation across the state through a dedicated cell in the CM's office using government data.
