In each constituency, a seat at large shall be allotted to one Member of the Storting on the basis of the number of votes cast in the entire realm. Direct seats are allotted to the other Members of the Storting in the constituency on the basis of the number of votes cast in the constituency.

The directly elected Members of the Storting are elected from each constituency by proportional representation according to the Sainte-Laguë method, with 1.4 as the first distribution figure. The party which in accordance with the foregoing obtains the largest quotient is allotted the first seat, while the second seat is allotted to the party with the second largest quotient, and so on until all the seats are distributed.

The seats at large are distributed among the registered political parties which have put up lists in all the constituencies and which have received at least four per cent of the approved votes in the entire realm.

The seats at large are distributed on the basis of the parties’ total number of votes in the entire realm. Votes and seats for lists that do not meet the requirement in the third paragraph are kept out of the count. A calculation is carried out using the Sainte-Laguë method, with 1.4 as the first distribution figure. The seats at large are allotted to the parties which have received fewer directly elected seats than that which follows from this calculation.

Specific provisions concerning in which constituencies the parties shall receive seats at large shall be laid down by law.

List alliances are prohibited.
