In the remote reaches of western Alaska lies Adak Island, where a unique tradition has taken root. Adak's residents have the distinction of being the last Americans to cast an in-person ballot for president, a tradition that began in 2012 when the island introduced in-person voting.
Located in the Aleutian Island chain, Adak Island is closer to Russia than mainland Alaska and further west than Hawaii. When polls close in Adak, it's 1 a.m. on the East Coast, marking the end of the voting process for the nation.
