1902 Surinamese general election

General elections were held in Suriname in April 1902 to elect all thirteen members of the Colonial States.

Electoral system

[edit]

The elections were held using the two-round system, with suffrage restricted to men meeting certain criteria. Voters had multiple votes, and any candidate receiving a number of votes equivalent to over 50% of the valid ballots cast was elected in the first round. If not all seats were filled, a second round was held.

Results

[edit]

With 497 valid votes cast, candidates required 249 votes to be elected in the first round. Two seats remained unfilled, resulting in the top four remaining candidates contesting a second round.
