For this scenario, I suggest you to use a RESTful web service architecture.

For ex: To get some data from your db, you can send a GET request to the following path <yourdomain>:<port>/api/v1/getyoursomthin using your electron app. Your express app process the request and get the relevant data from the data from the database ( Tutorial [LINK] ).
