After the British took control of Guiana in 1803, the College of Kiezers was abolished, and its duties were given to the Financial Representatives, who were elected by the public in six constituencies, although with a severely limited franchise. The Court of Policy and Financial Representatives continued to form the Combined Court. The College of Kiezers was re-established in the 1830s, with its members elected for life by planters. When a vacancy arose in the Court of Policy, the College would nominate two candidates, who the remaining members of the Court of Policy would hold a vote on.
