Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1870. As political parties were not officially established until 1884, all those elected were independents. Voter turnout was 45%, although only 5% of the country's population was eligible to vote.
Results
Of the 111 seats, 62 were won by farmers, sheriffs, church singers and teachers, 25 by civil servants and 24 by people with other professions.
