1939 Dutch East Indies Volksraad Election
1939 · The colonial Volksraad · 38 seats, 31 for a majority
Elections to the Volksraad were held in the Dutch East Indies in 1939. Only ten percent of the population was allowed to vote, but this was only to choose 937 electors, who together with another 515 government appointees, in turn elected 38 of the 60 members.
A colonial advisory council of the Dutch East Indies: partly appointed, elected on a tiny franchise weighted toward Europeans. Recorded here as the colonial prelude, not as an Indonesian election.
