Your answers are valuable

We need your response to produce and publish reliable statistics about parliamentary elections in Norway. Whether you voted or not, and regardless of your level of interest in politics, your answers are important for providing the most representative picture of the population.

In the survey we want information about interest in politics, attitudes to political topics and party preference.

The results are used in official statistics and research, helping to improve our understanding of democracy.

We will ask you about:

  • political interest
  • if you have voted at the parliamentary election
  • party preference
  • topics that were important for your voting
  • how you got information about the election
  • attitudes to various political topics

It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete the survey, but this will vary from person to person.

You are one of 16 650 voting-eligible persons who have been randomly selected from the National Population Register to participate in the survey. Some of the participants this year also took part in a similar survey in 2021.

We need answers from everyone who has been selected to participate, and we cannot replace you with someone else. Participation is voluntary. Your answers are important for getting the most accurate statistics on elections in Norway.

If you have been selected to participate in the survey, please answer by filling out an online questionnaire. You have received a letter in Altinn or by mail, in addition to an SMS from Statistics Norway. In the letter in Altinn, you will find a link to the questionnaire you are going to fill out. In the letter sent by mail, you will also find the link, which will take you to the questionnaire you are going to fill out.

You can also use the “Go to survey” button at the top of this web page. You will find your User-ID in the letter you have received in Altinn or by mail.

You can answer the survey in Bokmål, Nynorsk or in English.

The survey should work on all web browsers and devices (phone, PC, tablet). However, if you experience technical problems, we recommend you try a different browser or device.
Please contact us at 62 88 56 08 or e-mail svar@ssb.no if the technical issues are not resolved, and we will help you.

  • We will only use your responses to produce statistics and analyses, and individual answers will not be disclosed.
  • Participation in the survey is voluntary. Your responses will help improve statistics on the parliamentary election and how voter turnout changes over time.
  • You can withdraw from the survey and ask for your responses to be deleted by 31.12.2029 (or by December 31, 2026 if you participated in the Voter Survey in 2021). This can be done by contacting us via phone or email. The applicable deadline is specified in the invitation letter you received, either via Altinn or by post.
  • To keep the survey as short as possible, we use information about you from registers that SSB has access to. This applies to information from the National Population Register, as well as information about your education that SSB yearly collects from schools, counties and the State Educational Loan Fund, and information about your income, work, assets, national insurance and welfare benefits from the Norwegian Tax Administration and NAV, immigration information from the National Population Register and details of voter participation from the local authorities’ electoral rolls. We also use information about your household’s income. For those who participated in the Voter Survey 2021, we will connect the answers with your answers from 2021.
  • All information will be anonymised by 31.12.2029 (or by December 31, 2026 if you participated in the Voter Survey in 2021). The applicable deadline is specified in the invitation letter you received, either via Altinn or by post.
  • The survey is carried out in accordance with the Statistics Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have further questions about GDPR, you can send an e-mail to personvernombud@ssb.no or read more at our information page about privacy
