Dixville Notch Casts First Votes in US Presidential Election

Democratic Nominee Receives Majority

Election Results Signal Early Turnout

Dixville Notch, known for holding the first presidential primary in the United States, has cast their votes in the 2023 election. The tiny town of just 12 registered voters has a long tradition of being the first to declare a winner, with polls opening at midnight on Election Day.

This year, Democratic nominee, Senator John Smith, received the majority of votes, with 8 out of the 12 ballots cast in his favor. Republican nominee, Governor Susan Brown, received the remaining 4 votes.

The early results from Dixville Notch are often seen as a bellwether for the national outcome, although the small sample size should be taken with caution. However, the high turnout in Dixville Notch is a positive sign of civic engagement and enthusiasm for this year's election.
