Norway will go to the polls on 13 September to elect the 169 members of the Storting, the unicameral Parliament that remains in office for four years. At present, a minority coalition supports the government led by Prime Minister Erna Solberg, who is also the leader of the Conservative Party (Hoyre). The centre-right coalition (Hoyre-Progress Party) created in the wake of the 2017 election was then extended to the Liberal Party (Venstre) and to the Christian Democrats (KrF). Due to a row over the issue of migration, the Progress Party subsequently left the coalition, which continued to govern in minority. While showing a fragmented political landscape and many undecided voters, the surveys seem to point to a change in government, even if many in the country think that Prime Minister Solberg has managed the pandemic well. As Norway is Europe’s second-largest oil and gas supplier, the energy transition is a crucial issue in the electoral campaign. And since Norwegians who wish to do so can already vote remotely since 10 August, 25% have already taken advantage of this opportunity, the official election website valg.no announced today. In the run-up to the election day, Bishop Bernt I. Eidsvig of Oslo issued a video message urging “everyone to exercise their right to vote, especially young people”. It is a “civil right” to “choose who will be in government for the next years and which political orientations will guide the decisions to be made”.
