Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1835.[1] As political parties were not officially established until 1884,[2] all those elected were independents.[3] The number of seats in the Storting was increased from 95 to 96.[3] Voter turnout was 52%, although only 6% of the country's population was eligible to vote.[4]

Results

Of the 96 seats, 45 were won by farmers, sheriffs, church singers and teachers, 35 by civil servants and 16 by people with other professions.[5]
