Partial general elections were held in Suriname in March 1888 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 1888 elections were to replace the three members elected in 1882, Henry Barnett , A.H. de Granada and A.J. da Costa , all three of whom ran for re-election.
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 221 valid ballots cast, candidates required 111 votes to be elected in the first round. Two of the three incumbents were unseated.
