The U. S. Constitution requires an election every two years.

In every even-numbered year, every federal congressional district in the U. S. elects a Representative to the U. S. House for a two-year term, and two thirds of the states elect one third of the U. S. Senators for six-year terms.

In every second federal election (in every year that is evenly divisible by four), the voters of each state also choose the electors who will elect the president and vice president for four-year terms.

What does the original constitution say about voting?

Only that citizens have the right to vote for a US Representative if they are able to vote in the largest house of their state's legislature.

Some states did have popular voting for Senators and Presidential Electors at the time, but it was not required. It is still not required for states to allow popular voting for Presidential Electors, however all states practice this.
