Hordaland (Storting constituency)
Constituency of the Storting, the national legislature of Norway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hordaland is one of the 19 multi-member constituencies of the Storting, the national legislature of Norway. The constituency was established in 1921 following the introduction of proportional representation for elections to the Storting. The Bergen constituency was merged into the Hordaland constituency in 1973 after the city of Bergen lost its county status in 1972. Hordaland consists of the municipalities of Alver, Askøy, Austevoll, Austrheim, Bergen, Bjørnafjorden, Bømlo, Eidfjord, Etne, Fedje, Fitjar, Kvam, Kvinnherad, Masfjorden, Modalen, Osterøy, Øygarden, Samnanger, Stord, Sveio, Tysnes, Ullensvang, Ulvik, Vaksdal and Voss in the county of Vestland. The constituency currently elects 15 of the 169 members of the Storting using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2025 parliamentary election it had 397,478 registered electors.

Electoral system
Hordaland currently elects 15 of the 169 members of the Storting using the open[a] party-list proportional representation electoral system.[7][8] Constituency seats are allocated by the County Electoral Committee using the Modified Sainte-Laguë method.[9][10] Compensatory seats (seats at large or levelling seats) are calculated based on the national vote and are allocated by the National Electoral Committee using the Modified Sainte-Laguë method at the constituency level (one for each constituency).[9] Only parties that reach the 4% national threshold compete for compensatory seats.[11][12]

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]
