Constituent Assembly elections were held in
Norway in 1814.[1] The elections were held in
Christiania and the surrounding area in February, and in the rest of the country as news of the need for elections arrived.[1] However, in the two Northernmost
AmtsNordlandene and
Finnmarken in the far north of the country, the elections were not held until July and August, by which time the Assembly had finished its work.[1] As political parties were not officially established until 1884,[2] the 112 elected members were independents.[3]
The
Constituent Assembly convened in
Eidsvoll to draw up the
Constitution of Norway. The delegates were popularly dubbed the "Eidsvoll men" (Eidsvollsmennene). The new constitution was agreed on 16 May 1814, and signed and dated the following day.
Elections to a second Constituent Assembly were held on 14 August.[1]
