Dixville Notch, a tiny town of six registered voters, unanimously chose former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley as the states primary process began at the stroke of midnight on Tuesday.

The tally was six votes for Haley.

The community has just four registered Republicans and two independents and has long garnered nationwide fame for voting first in the states primary process. Tom Tillotson, the towns 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 doesnt 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.

Two other towns that usually voted at midnight, Millsfield and Harts Location, opted to hold their votes in the daytime this year.
