Final count and seat allocation (100%).

Change since the previous county election

No county with this number existed in 2019, so there is no comparable previous election.

Explore the seat allocation

County council seats use the modified Sainte-Laguë method: each list’s votes are divided by 1.4, 3, 5, 7 … and seats go to the highest quotients. A tied quotient goes to the list with more votes, then to an official lot draw. The rule at the Directorate of Elections (Norwegian) ↗

LimitationMathematical scenario: the number of candidates on each list is not imported. In reality a list cannot win more seats than it has candidates, so this is not a complete legal allocation.

Check: allocating the official votes gives exactly the official seats.
