He started the campaign with HeadCount organisation. Dobrik's posts blew up on the internet and people started registering to vote with the help of the details provided. As a result of this wild spread of the post, within 24 hours, over 100,000 Americans had registered to vote, and counting asthe contest is open till Sunday.
To win the Tesla cars, his followers had to like the Instagram post, share it on their story and tag a friend’s handle in the comments section and make sure they register to vote through HeadCount organisation.
