Fermion zero modes around a general multivortex background are analyzed in supersymmetrized self-dual (Maxwell--) Chern-Simons Higgs systems, using the index theorem and other means. In the models with an {ital N}=2 extended supersymmetry, a simple connection is established between all independent fermion zero modes and corresponding bosonic zero modes. We provide a supersymmetry-based explanation of the result.
