In this report we analyse and present some historical tables of party choice by gender, education and occupation. Statistics Norway has conducted sample surveys among those entitled to vote after each parliamentary election from 1969. However, the first attempt at a voter survey in Norway was carried out as early as 1949 and the voter surveys for the election research program began in 1957.
