When a town, which is not here mentioned, has fifty or more
qualified voters, it shall be included in the electoral district of the
nearest town. The same rule shall apply to towns that may
hereafter be founded. A town that has come to be included in the
electoral district of another town shall elect its own electoral
representative, even if the number of its qualified voters should become
less than fifty. In a town that by itself constitutes an electoral
district, there shall in no case be elected less than three electoral
representatives.
58. In every parish in the country the qualified voters shall
elect electoral representatives in proportion to their number, thus:
up to 100 elect one, 100 to 200 two, 200 to 300 three, and so
on in the same proportion. These electoral representatives shall
assemble within one month from that date at a place appointed
for that purpose by the prefect [1], and shall then elect, either
from their own number or from among the other qualified voters
in the county, representatives to attend and take their seats in the
Storthing.
The number of representatives in the Storthing which the
country districts have to elect shall be fixed at 76. Of these, there
shall be elected, until it is otherwise determined in a constitutional
manner, from Akershus county five, from North Bergenhus county
five, from South Bergenhus county five, from Kristians county five,
from Finmarken county two, from Hedemarken county five, from
Nordland county five, from Romsdal county five, from Stavanger
county five, from Tromsø county two, and from each of the other
eight counties of the kingdom four.
Any one who has been Minister or Councillor of State may be
chosen as a representative even in a constituency where he is not a
qualified voter, provided he is otherwise eligible, and has not already
been elected as a representative for any other district. But no
district can at the same time have more than one representative
from outside the number of its own qualified voters.
59. (Abrogated).
60. The qualified voters within the kingdom that are not able
to be present on account of illness, military service, or other lawful
impediment, may send their votes in writing to the presiding officer
before the poll is closed.
How far and in what manner qualified voters sojourning out of
the kingdom may be allowed to send their ballot-papers in writing
to the presiding officer at poll, shall be determined by law.
61. No one can be chosen as a representative unless he is
thirty years of age, and has resided ten years in the kingdom.
62. The members of the Government and the officials employed
in their departments, as well as the Court officials and pensioners,
cannot be chosen as representatives.
