Here also the stadholder had a casting vote.

In Overyssel the Estates, like those of Groningen, consisted of two members, the nobles from the three quarters, Sallant, Twente and Vollenhove, and the deputies of the three towns, Deventer, Kampen and Zwolle.
The ordinary executive and administrative work of Provincial government was carried out in Holland by a body known as the Commissioned-Councillors--_Gecommitteerde-Raden;_ in the other provinces by Deputed-Estates--_Gedeputeerde-Staten._ The Commissioned-Councillors were to the Estates of Holland what the Council of State was to the States-General.

They enjoyed considerable independence, for they were not appointed by the Estates but directly by the nobles and cities according to a fixed system of rotation, and they sat continuously, whereas the Estates only met for short sessions.

Their duty was to see that all provincial edicts and ordinances decreed by the Estates were published and enforced, to control the finances and to undertake the provision and oversight of all military requirements; and to them it belonged to summon the meetings of the Estates.

The Deputed-Estates in the other provinces had similar but generally less extensive and authoritative functions.
Such a medley of diverse and often conflicting authorities within a state of so small an area has no counterpart in history.
