Parliamentary elections were held in Norway on 13 and 14 September 2009.[1] Elections in Norway are held on a Monday in September, usually the second or third Monday, as determined by the king.[2] Early voting was possible between 10 August and 11 September 2009,[3] while some municipalities also held open voting on 13 September.[1] Voters elected 169 members for the Storting,[4] each for a four-year term.[5] Voter turn-out in the 2009 general elections was 76.4%.[6]
Candidates were elected on party lists in each of the 19 counties. The political parties nominated candidates for these lists during late 2008 and early 2009. The party lists had to be registered by 31 March 2009.[7]
Although the opposition received more votes, the governing Red-Green Coalition obtained more seats in parliament. This allowed Jens Stoltenberg to continue as prime minister. Further to the right, both the Conservative Party and Progress Party increased their number of seats in parliament.[8] The centrist Liberal Party failed to cross the electoral threshold of 4%, and were reduced to two representatives in Parliament.[9]
