Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, cast the first votes in the 2020 presidential election at midnight on Tuesday, November 3. The small town has a tradition of being the first in the nation to vote in the presidential primary, and this year was no different.

This year, Dixville Notch voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump by a margin of 5-0.

Despite the challenges, Dixville Notch residents turned out in force to cast their votes.

The town's tradition of casting the first votes in the presidential primary is a reminder of the importance of civic participation.

By voting, Dixville Notch residents are helping to shape the future of their country.
