Local elections were held in Norway on 9 September 2019. Voters elected representatives to municipal and county councils, which are responsible for education, public transport, health, and elderly care, and for the levy of certain taxes.
The local election was the first since the consolidation of municipalities and counties, reducing the number of counties from 19 to 11, and number of municipalities from 429 to 356. Despite the formal date of the mergers being 1 January 2020, the election proceeded with the new borders and divisions as the term of office began the same day.
The political parties in four municipalities in Finnmark county (Alta, Karasjok, Kautokeino, and Loppa) cancelled all their campaigning following a helicopter crash in Alta on 31 August.[1][2]
