Dixville Notch, a small town in New Hampshire known for its unique election tradition, has reported the first official result of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, resulting in a tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Each candidate received three votes in the midnight tally.
This small community, consisting of just six voters, has held the nation’s first completed in-person vote since 1960, a ritual that attracts national attention during each election cycle.
As the clock struck midnight, residents gathered to cast their ballots while the U.S. national anthem was played on an accordion. The counting process concluded within just 15 minutes.
This early result reflects the heightened anticipation surrounding the election as voting continues across the country. While the outcome from Dixville Notch is largely symbolic, it marks the beginning of what is expected to be a closely watched election.
The nation now shifts its focus to larger polling locations, where millions of Americans are casting their votes to determine the next President of the United States.
