In which municipal authority areas the electors shall be registered

(1) Those who are entitled to vote and who are registered with a place of abode in Norway shall be included in the register of electors in the municipal authority area in which they were registered at the Population Registry as being resident on 30 June in the year of the election.

(2) Those who are entitled to vote on Svalbard and Jan Mayen shall be registered as electors in the municipal authority area in which they were last registered at the Population Registry as being resident.

(3) Those who are entitled to vote and who are resident outside Norway shall be included in the register of electors in the municipal authority area in which they were last registered at the Population Registry as being resident. Persons living abroad who have not been registered at the Population Registry as being resident in Norway at any time in the course of the last 10 years prior to Election Day, must nevertheless apply to the Electoral Committee to be included in the register of electors. Such applications must include an assurance that the person in question is still a Norwegian national.

(4) Persons living abroad who are members of the diplomatic corps or of the consular service and their households shall be registered as electors in the municipal authority area in which they were last registered as resident. Such registration is not conditional upon the duration of their stay abroad. If they have not at any time been registered at the Population Registry as resident in Norway, they shall be registered as electors in the municipal authority area of Oslo.
