Parliamentary elections were held in Norway on 12 September 2005.

 Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Norwegian Storting
Norwegian party politics trace their origins to the establishment of parliamentary rule in 1884, an event which led to the foundation of Høyre and Venstre - literally "Right" and "Left", respectively, but known in English as the Conservatives and the Liberals.
In the election, two new political forces gained representation in the Storting: the right-wing, anti-tax Anders Lange's Party (subsequently renamed the Progress Party); and the leftist Socialist Association for the Election, an alliance of earlier Labour breakaway groups with the Communist Party.
The outcome of the election allowed Dr. Brundtland's minority Labour administration to remain in power; the vote also highlighted the prominent role of women in Norwegian politics: Labour, the Center Party and the Conservatives were all led by women, and females won 65 of the 165 seats in the Storting.
