Partial general elections were held in Suriname in March 1872 to elect three of the nine elected members of the Colonial States.
The Colonial States consisted of nine elected members and four appointed by the Governor-General. [1] Elected members served six-year terms, with three members elected every two years. Following the first elections in 1866 to elect all nine members, three would serve until 1868, three until 1870 and three until 1872. The 1872 election was for the seats won in 1866 by E.F.L. Mollinger , Salomon Soesman Jr. and J.V. Bouguenon , although only Mollinger was still a member by 1872 as Soesman had resigned in 1869 and been replaced by F.H. van Affelen van Oorde , while Bouguenon had resigned in 1871 and had been replaced by Johannes Cornelis Muller .
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 with twice the number of candidates as seats remaining, who were the candidates who received the most votes but failed to be elected in the first round.
As there were 100 valid ballots cast, candidates required 51 votes to be elected in the first round. For the first time since elections started in 1866, no second round was required. All three incumbents were re-elected.

The single transferable vote (STV), a type of proportional ranked choice voting (P-RCV), is a multi-winner electoral system in which each voter casts a single vote in the form of a ranked-choice ballot. Voters have the option to rank candidates, and their vote may be transferred according to alternative preferences if their preferred candidate is eliminated or elected with surplus votes, so that their vote is used to elect someone they prefer over others in the running. STV aims to approach proportional representation based on votes cast in the district where it is used, so that each vote is worth about the same as another.
