Suriname
In Suriname there are 24 registered political parties. Only those parties who can show that they have the support of 1% of the Surinamese voters, will receive permission from the Independent Electoral Office to participate in an election. In order to meet the 1% demand, most parties will form “pre-election coalitions”.
