The U.S. electoral system was created in 1788 by the United States Constitution. The first U.S. presidential election was in 1789. George Washington was elected as the first president of the United States. The election was conducted under the new United States Constitution, which had been ratified earlier in 1788. In the election, George Washington received all 69 electoral votes and was unanimously elected president. John Adams was elected vice-president. Since 1788 the U.S. electoral system has been modified by amendment to the United States Constitution. Further changes to the U.S. electoral system would require additional amendment to the United States Constitution.
