Election Day 2024 has arrived, as millions of Americans prepare to head to the polls and cast their ballots in Hanover and around the nation.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump head into polls statistically deadlocked, in what has become one of the closest presidential elections in modern history. New Hampshire voters are also deciding on a host of state and local races. Former Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., and former Democratic Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig are vying for the governor’s mansion, in what many prognosticators have called the closest gubernatorial race of the cycle. Meanwhile, in the second Congressional District, Maggie Goodlander and Lily Tang Williams are competing to replace retiring Rep. Annie Kuster ’78.
Watch here for live updates from the polls in Hanover and the greater Upper Valley throughout the day.
