Between December 15, 1788 and January 10, 1789, the presidential electors were chosen in each of the states. On February 4, 1789, the Electoral College convened. Ten states cast electoral votes: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.

After a quorum was finally established, the Congress counted and certified the electoral vote count on April 6.
