List of members of the Storting, 2009–2013

This means that representatives from different political parties are elected from 19 constituencies, which are identical to the 19 counties.

This means that the person on top of the list will get the seat unless the voter alters the ballot.

Parties may nominate candidates from outside their own constituency, and even Norwegian citizens currently living abroad.

Still, a party with a high number of votes in only one constituency can win a seat there even if the nationwide percentage is low.

[1] If a representative is absent for whatever reason, his or her seat will be filled by a candidate from the same party-list—in other words, there are no by-elections.
