The parliamentary system is a part of the Constitution of Norway (§ 15), regarding the national level of administration and how the political executive branch should be formed.
In practice, it has meant the forming of a new institution, the city government (Norwegian: et byråd).
[3] It has also been proposed in smaller municipalities like Askøy,[4] Kristiansand,[5] Skien,[6] Harstad[7] and Tromsø.
[9] The possibility was also researched by Vestfold in the 1990s, and it has been proposed in several counties, including Rogaland, Akershus, Sør-Trøndelag[2] and Hordaland.
This must not be confused with the position fylkerådsmann, the chief administrative officer of the county municipality.
