Constitution Day is observed in Sint Maarten on October 13, commemorating the day when the current Constitution of Sint Maarten entered into force. This public holiday aims to educate local residents about their rights as citizens and voters. Sint Maarten, located in the southern part of the island of Saint Martin, became a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles on October 10, 2010. The Constitution was adopted by the island council on July 21, 2010, reflecting the country's new status. The day serves as a reminder of the island's political evolution and the importance of civic engagement among its citizens.
