Elections in the Netherlands Antilles were held for two territorial levels of government: the state, and the island territories.
The Netherlands Antilles had a multi-party system, with numerous political parties to form coalition governments after the elections. The Estates (Staten) consisted of 21 or 22 members, elected for a four-year term. Its seats were distributed among the island territories:
