@151 cp: So it appears we have two conflicting sets of sources.

One that gives the individual parties only – the Storting website
One that gives the figures for most parties, and includes invalid/blank and total number of votes – SSB and Nohlen & Stöver. The party figures also match the European Election Database numbers, and those in the SSB database.

The issue is that the total number of votes for parties in source 1 (2,521,879) does not equal the number in the others (2,521,820). Does anyone know of a dataset that gives the votes for all the parties (including the very minor ones) AND the invalid/total number of votes? Number 5 7 21:02, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, which source says that County lists for the Norwegian parliamentary election, 2001 had 7,616 votes, and not 4,026? I think that the source you indicated, even if it's more recent, is based on unofficial results (obtained by the statistic institute at the time of the elections and they have never been reviewed), and, in any case, an official act, i.e. the Preparatory Credentials Committee's recommendation (Innstilling fra fullmaktskomiteen om fullmaktene), can't be "repealed" by a publication of a statistic insitute. And Inter-Parliamentary Union considers that source. --151 cp (talk) 21:32, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's an error, it should be other parties and county lists (I've changed it).

There was also an issue that when you changed the figures, it looks like you just increased the total number of votes to fit the new sum, which doesn't work. Whilst the IPU figures do fit with the figures on the Storting website, it seems to be the only source online that gives a total number of votes cast as 2,537,692, and their number of total and invalid votes is around 2,000 higher than any other source...

I didn't find any other source about voters and invalid votes; however, I don't know if, limited to lists results, showing results published by a statistic institute (Yearbook of Norway 2002, p. 30) is better than indicating official results. A mistake might be occurred when the sum of votes obtained in singular constituencies was calculated. --151 cp (talk) 22:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
