Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1817. [1] As political parties were not officially established until 1884, [2] all those elected were independents. [3]
Of the 78 seats, 42 were won by civil servants, 18 by farmers, sheriffs, church singers and teachers and 18 by people with other professions. [4] Seven elected members were affiliated with the Haugean movement. [5]
