The election day for Norway’s 2025 Parliamentary (Storting) and Sámi Parliament elections is Monday 8 September 2025. In many Norwegian municipalities, polling stations will also open on Sunday 7 September.
Norwegian citizens living abroad can cast their votes in advance at Norwegian embassies, consulates or other designated locations between 1 July and 29 August 2025. Postal voting is also possible, but ballots must arrive at the voter’s municipality in Norway by 17:00 on 9 September 2025.
To be eligible to vote, you must be a Norwegian citizen, 18 years or older by the end of 2025, and registered as a current or former resident in Norway. Citizens who have lived abroad for more than 10 years must apply to be re‑registered. A valid photo ID, such as a passport, national ID card, driver’s licence or bank card with a photo, is required when voting.
The Sámi Parliament election takes place on the same day as the parliamentary election. To vote in the Sámi election, you must be registered on the Sámi electoral roll before 30 June 2025 and meet the ancestry or language criteria for registration.
Full details about voting abroad are available on valg.no and norway.no. Norwegian citizens abroad who cannot reach a voting station may apply for postal voting to ensure their ballot is received in Norway before the deadline.
