1969 Norwegian parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Norway on 7 and 8 September 1969.[1] Although the Labour Party remained the largest party, winning 74 of the 150 seats, the coalition of right-of-centre parties won 76 seats and retained power. The closeness of the result and fears of the two blocs winning an equal number of seats led to the number of seats being increased to an odd number for the next elections.
