Best Answer

The first US presidential election under the Constitution took place on January 7, 1789.

But many other elections were held before that - in the individual states, in the colonies before they were independent states, in England and Scotland, and in other countries such as Iceland, Switzerland, ancient Rome and some cities of ancient Greece.
