	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.

	Norway's election: right next time? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In part, the election result represents a reaction to a centre-right government that was widely viewed as far too willing (internationally) to climb into bed with the Bush administration in Iraq and (domestically) to abandon honoured Norwegian social values.
		The signs of change are already visible: when George W Bush telephoned Labour leader Jens Stoltenberg to congratulate him on the election result, the prime-minister-elect responded by announcing his decision to withdraw the country's remaining military personnel from Iraq, thus carrying out one of his campaign promises and pleasing his left-leaning coalition partners.
		The aftermath of the 2005 election may yet not be his moment, but the success of the party is a warning sign to Norwegian democracy, and an indication that the pressures of globalisation on national politics impact on what may appear the most comfortable and prosperous of societies.

	The Nobel Peace Prize 1901-2000

	Training Manual for Human Rights Monitoring - Chapter 14
		Frequently, the UN and other election observers are asked to play several roles during an election, including, for example, both assistance in preparing for the election and then observing it.
		Having assisted with the preparation of election process, it is difficult for the same individuals to be entirely impartial when observing the results of their own efforts.
		Election observers should use this time to meet the major actors in the political process, travel outside of the capital city, assess preparations for the election including registration proceedings, observe election day activity, and monitor the vote count.

	STRUCTURE AND CULTURE REINFORCED -
		After 1884, with the establishment of the parliamentary principle in Norway, there was a strong connection between the Storting and the Cabinet, a connection that since has created homogeneity, integration and legitimacy (Hernes and Nergaard 1990).
		Some of these characteristics of the early parliamentary period seem to be as evident today: First, there is still a close relationship between the executive and the legislative power, and between the cabinet and the central administration (Hernes and Nergaard 1990).
		Civil servants in the Norwegian system are first of all supposed to represent the opinions of the people, furthered through the national elections, the Storting and the executive (Olsen 1988).

		Parliamentary elections were held in Norway on 12 September 2005.
		The election was won by the opposition centre-left Red-Green Coalition, dominated by the Norwegian Labour Party, which took 87 seats.
		This disparity is caused by the Norwegian electoral system, which assigns seats according to a formula favouring the geographically larger counties with small populations, and disadvantages Oslo and more dense populated counties.

	Albania Human Rights Practices, 1997
		During the unrest and the June election campaign, journalists complained of the difficulties in reporting stories (such as having cameras and equipment stolen and being attacked by criminal gangs), and political parties raised the problems and dangers of campaigning and distributing respective party newspapers in different parts of the country.
		As in the period preceding past elections, this law determined whether the Parliament would be elected on a majoritarian or proportional basis or, as worked out, on the basis of some compromise between the two.
		Discrepancies in a few districts were serious enough to require the Government to rerun the parliamentary elections in these areas, and in a couple of more remote regions elections were delayed because not all the materials were delivered in time.

	Partisan Review
		In a courageous article that appeared in the Norwegian newspaper VG in April 2000, Rehman and Storhaug accused Norway’s Muslim leaders of presenting the general public with a misleading picture of what was going on inside their community–a picture that Norwegian authorities gladly accepted, the article charged, even though they knew better.
		The consensus among Norwegian officials and intellectuals was plainly in agreement with the diagnosis by the head of Norway’s Anti-Racism Center, who (despite Straume’s insistence that his concern was with "Islamic ideology," not race) called his remarks "mentally deranged." Even the national leadership of Straume’s own party distanced itself from his comments.
		For Norwegians, the story’s most striking aspect was the number of Norwegian Muslims who, when asked by the media for their comments, did not condemn the murder outright.

		The four million Norwegians have a number of political parties, and thanks to the system of proportional representation there are now eight political parties in the national parliament in Oslo, ranging from the right wing "Progress Party" to the Maoist "Red Voters Alliance."

		At the local elections in 1991 Greens entered a number of local councils, mainly in medium sized cities and towns, but the parliamentary elections in 1993 were downright depressing.
