Dixville Notch, New Hampshire Town Of 6 Voters, Opts For Nikki Haley As Primary Begins

The community has just four Republicans and two independents registered to vote.

Dixville Notch, a tiny town of six registered voters, unanimously chose former UN ambassador Nikki Haley as the state’s primary process began at the stroke of midnight on Tuesday.

The tally was 6 votes for Haley.

The community has just four registered Republicans and two independents and has long garnered nationwide fame for voting first in the state’s primary process. Tom Tillotson, the town’s moderator, said Dixville Notch gets its “15 minutes of fame every four years.”

An accordionist played the national anthem shortly before voting began.

“How we vote really doesn’t matter in the scheme of things,” Tillotson, who has served as town moderator since 1976, told Politico. “The one message that we try to get out every cycle is that we have 100% [voter turnout] and wish that everybody else would do the same.”
