In-person voting is officially underway across the United States as Americans cast ballots to elect the country’s 47th president. In keeping with tradition, the small New Hampshire town of Dixville Notch was the first to complete voting, marking its unique role in US electoral history, the Associated Press reported. Known for being the first in the nation to finish in-person voting, the town’s six registered voters cast their ballots at midnight Tuesday, concluding the count just 15 minutes later.
In an election widely anticipated to be close, Dixville Notch mirrored the pulse of the nation: the six votes split evenly, with three cast for Donald Trump and three for Kamala Harris.
The voting took place in the living room of the Tillotson House, where residents gathered over coffee and cookies with dogs in their company. The town continued with their longstanding tradition, dating back to 1960, of kicking off Election Day with midnight voting, as per the Associated Press.
