A general election was held to elect 150 MPs to the Norwegian parliament, the Storting.

The Labour Party lost its absolute majority of seats that the party had held since 1945, winning 74 seats. As the Socialist People's Party won two seats, the Socialists nevertheless retained a majority of 76-74 against the centre-right parties, and the Labour Party government continued in office.
