Description: Election, census, and electoral census data for 431 Norwegian communes (or Electoral Parishes) in the period from 1868 to 1903 are collected in this dataset. Election returns are available for the general elections of representatives to the Storting (Parliament, unicameral) for the following years: 1868, 1870, 1873, 1879, 1882, 1885, 1888, 1891, 1894, 1897, 1900, and 1903. Data from the censuses of 1875, 1890, and 1900 include information on demography, occupational structure, religion, migration statistics, and data on education obtained from special educational censuses of 1875 and 1885. Two special electoral censuses of 1868 and 1876 provide measures of local impacts of various proposed schemes for suffrage extensions, across occupations as well as across income levels. Data on infrastructure development in the communes are available, collected from time tables for the various means of communication in 1880.
