Electoral system
The elections were held using the two-round system, with suffrage restricted to men who paid a tax contribution of 60 Dutch guilders.Geschiedenis van DNA https://www.dna.sr/jeugd/over-dna/geschiedenis-van-dna/ National Assembly 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.
Candidates were elected for a six-year term with staggered elections every two years and the 1932 elections were to replace the four members elected in the 1926 elections. Only two of them – Frederik Pieter Schuitemaker nl and Ernst Snellen nl – were still in office; H.G. Brandon had resigned shortly after being elected and been replaced by David Simons (politician) nl David Simons (politicus) David Simons, while Pierre Antoine Augustin Bucaille nl left Suriname in 1929 and was replaced by Philip Samson nl. Only Samson and Simons ran for re-election.
