Partial general elections were held in Suriname in March 1886 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. The 1886 elections were to replace the three members elected in 1880, A.J. van Emden , Johannes Cateau van Rosevelt and Coenraad van Lier. However, van Emden had resigned shortly after the elections as he was leaving Suriname, and was replaced by Cornelis Johannes Heylidy .
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 143 valid ballots cast, candidates required 72 votes to be elected in the first round. All three incumbents were re-elected.
