The new voters can register online as well as offline" said Dr Singh.

"The Delhi election office is also concerned about low voter turnout on election day especially in the urban areas due to urban apathy. Same is the case with new registered young voters in the age group of 18-21 years. We are running a campaign as well as appealing to Delhiites to avoid going on vocation on May 12, 2019 "he said.
