How the election works
The president is elected directly in up to two rounds. If no candidate wins more than half the votes in the first round, the top two go to a second round.
The National Assembly is elected separately, scheduled for 2029 unless the president dissolves it earlier.
The Senate is not elected directly by voters.
Why it matters in Norway
France's president leads foreign and defence policy in one of Norway's close European partners.
