1902 Surinamese general election

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

Electoral system

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

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.
