By the time polls opened in D.C. this morning, Ward 2 candidates were already stationed at voting booths, while other people were beginning to gather around the White House to show support for their preferred candidate.

Election Day progressed rather calmly in the District as thousands of people took to the streets to watch race results unfold on a jumbotron or demonstrate in Black Lives Matter Plaza. Hatchet reporters spread out across D.C. to capture scenes throughout the day and wrapped up Tuesday coverage in the evening with election results uncertain.

Take a look at some sights throughout day:
