Official Statistics Norway national categories. Vote shares are calculated from the exact national valid-vote total and rounded to two decimal places; the source percentage series is rounded more coarsely. Joint-list allocations, where present, are displayed separately from ordinary party-list votes; these categories must not be added to a joint-list aggregate a second time. Elected representatives are attributed to the party categories used by Statistics Norway, including members elected on joint lists. Male and female representatives are summed once; deputy representatives are not added. Blank and rejected ballots are excluded from party shares. Colours are a display palette.
