🗳 How the island voted
📊 St. Maarten by the numbers
Figures from the Department of Statistics (STAT), with the year each one refers to. The French side counts separately — INSEE puts Saint-Martin at roughly 32,000 people, so the whole island is around 75,000.
Emergency and ministry details come from the Government of Sint Maarten; election results from the 19 August 2024 general election. Something out of date? Tell us and we'll fix it.
