The final count read out by officials around 12:10 a.m. on Tuesday morning were 3 for Trump and 3 for Harris.
In 2020, President Joe Biden took all the votes there. In 2016, four people voted for Senator Hillary Clinton, two for Trump and for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
The six citizens of the tiny town, which is a remote unincorporated township in New Hampshire’s North County region, cast their ballots at midnight.
Before voters cast their ballots, Cory Pesaturo, three-time world accordion champion, performed an accordion rendition of the national anthem as voters held their hands over their hearts.
Dixville Notch began its tradition of midnight voting in 1960.
All eligible voters in the township, which totaled six in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary in January, gathered in Dixville’s Tillotson House, where voting remained open until everybody cast their ballot.
Harts Location, which is another New Hampshire small town, started midnight voting in 1948. Additionally, Millfield, which is near Dixville Notch in New Hampshire’s North County, has also held midnight voting.
However, in the 2024 general election, Dixville Notch was the only location in New Hampshire holding midnight voting.
Tom Tillotson, the longtime town moderator of the vote, noted that “we get our 15 minutes of fame every four years.”
