Notes
^ Although technically elections to the Storting have open lists , they are in effect closed lists as a majority of those voting for a party must make changes to the lists for the changes to take effect, which has never happened since the introduction of proportional representation in 1921, and as result candidates are elected in the order submitted by the party.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
