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]
