First of all, our elections now take place only on one day. That particular election took place from a monday December 15th 1788 to Saturday January 10th 1789. It was the only election that ever took place that was partially in a year that wasn't a multiple of 4. In the election George Washington was unanimously elected for the office of President, and John Adams was the vice president. Basically there was not a formal election- individual states chose who they were going to send to elect the President, and when they all met together they unanimously voted for Washington. The total number of electoral votes was 69.
