Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1859.[5] As political parties were not officially established until 1884,[6] all those elected were independents.[7] The number of seats in the Storting (Norwegian Parliament) was increased from 111 to 117.[7] Voter turnout was 47.7%, although only 4.9% of the country's population was eligible to vote.[8]
