Dixville Notch, a small New Hampshire town with a unique election tradition, has reported the first official result in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, with a tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
Both candidates received three votes each in the midnight tally.
The small community of six voters has held the nation’s first completed in-person vote since 1960, a ritual that draws national attention every election cycle.
As midnight struck, the town’s residents gathered to cast their ballots to the sound of the U.S. national anthem played on an accordion. The counting concluded within 15 minutes.
This early result highlights the intense anticipation surrounding the election as voting continues across the country.
While symbolic, Dixville Notch’s tradition marks the start of what is expected to be a closely watched election.
The nation now turns its focus to larger polling locations, where millions of Americans are casting their votes to decide the next President of the United States.
