Dixville Notch, US/IBNS: The results in the US hamlet of Dixville Notch are already out on Tuesday and it's a tie between Democrat candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump each got three ballots in this tiny community in the northeastern state of New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is the first state where the polling started at 6 am local time (4:30 pm IST).

As the countdown to the most-anticipated US election ends, Americans queue up on Tuesday to decide who between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris would occupy the White House next four years, in one of the most hard-fought elections.

With the US providing scope for early voting, 82 million of the 244 million voters have already cast their ballots.

The build-up to the final stage of the election has been quite a dramatic one with two assassination attempts at former US President Donald Trump during his campaign phase and Kamala Harris entering the poll race in a surprising move after Joe Biden decided to opt out after stumbling in his debate with Trump.

If voted to power, Kamala Harris will create history by becoming the first woman, Black, and Asian-American to lead the nation.

Meanwhile, Arizona is one of the seven swing states that has emerged to become a pivotal player in this election with wide gender divides on issues including reproductive rights, immigration, and the economy.

Besides, the other neck-to-neck battlegrounds are Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, as per opinion polls.
