How many electoral votes did George Washington receive?

Answer 1

69All 69 electors(all at that time) cast one vote for Washington. Washington is the only president so far to receive 100% of electoral votes. The other votes (an elector was given 2 votes each then, only one now) were divided among eleven other candidates; John Adams received the most, becoming vice president.

Answer 2

George Washington won 69 votes. However, since the only people who voted were the members of the Electoral College, and since there were 69 members, George Washington is the only president who won by Unanimous Vote.

Answer 3

George Washington actually won by 69 votes. Back then, the citizens did not vote, the electoral college did. Every member in the electoral college voted for George Washington, so no one voted for any of the other candidates (John Adams) .

Answer 4

Technically 35 (in the first election), which would have been a majority of the electoral college and one more than was received by John Adams.

In the second election, 78 would have been sufficient for him to surpass Adams, who again had the second-highest total.

(Washington actually received 69 and 132 electoral votes in the first and second elections respectively.)

If you mean popular vote... it's hard to say, because they didn't do elections the same way then that we do now. States are constitutionally allowed to choose their electors however they like, and in the first election, only 6 of the states used a popular vote to select the electors (in the other 7, they were mainly picked by the state legislature).

Answer 5

He was the only candidate for our first election, so everyone who voted voted for him. He only served (and only wanted to serve) one term.
