Norwegian parliamentary election 2025

Who can vote?

You have the right to vote in the parliamentary election if you:

• are a Norwegian citizen, and
• will have reached the age of 18 by the end of 2025, and
• are, or have ever been, registered in the Population Register as resident in Norway

The electoral register

The electoral register (manntall) is a list of everyone who has the right to vote in a municipality. To be able to vote, you must be included on the electoral roll of a municipality.

You are automatically entered into the electoral register of the municipality you are registered in the Population Register as resident in on 30 June in the year of the election.

If you move to another municipality after 30 June, you will still have the right to vote in the municipality you have moved out of even if you report your change of address.

The electoral register for the parliamentary election in Oslo will be publicly available in July. Then you can check if you are included in the electoral register and report any errors.
