57

Article 57 The number of Members of the Storting shall be one hundred and sixty-nine. The realm is divided into nineteen constituencies. One hundred and fifty of the Members of the Storting are elected as representatives of constituencies and the remaining nineteen Members are elected as members at large. Each constituency shall have one seat at large. The number of Members of the Storting to be chosen from each constituency is determined on the basis of a calculation of the ratio between the number of inhabitants and surface area of each constituency and the number of inhabitants and surface area of the entire realm, in which each inhabitant counts as one point and each square kilometre counts as 1.8 points. This calculation shall be made every eighth year. Specific provisions on the division of the realm into constituencies and on the allotment of seats in the Storting to the constituencies shall be determined by law.
