Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1873. [1] As political parties were not officially established until 1884, [2] all those elected were independents. [3] Voter turnout was 46%, although only 5% of the country's population was eligible to vote. [4]
Of the 111 seats, 50 were won by farmers, sheriffs, church singers and teachers, 32 by civil servants and 29 by people with other professions. [5]
