Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1850.[1] As political parties were not officially established until 1884,[2] all those elected were independents.[3] The number of seats in the Storting was increased from 105 to 106.[3] Voter turnout was 50%, although only 5% of the country's population was eligible to vote.[4]
