Norwegian Parliamentary Election 2013

[Diouf]

The turnout is now reported as being at least 77,6 % which is an increase since 2009 where it was 76,4.

[Viewfromthenorth]

50% in Oslo was without early votes, I think.

[Tender Branson]

Oslo turnout now 80%.

So, my turnout prediction was right after all ...

Use the magick of right click to bring up the proper sized version, etc.

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

Beautiful work as always, Al.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I will also be doing - at some point - borough maps for Oslo and maybe maps by municipality elsewhere. Possibly.

[Leftbehind]

Great news - shame about the results like.

[Tender Branson]

Final Norway-wide turnout will be 78.2%, which is ca. 2% more than in 2009.

1 precinct in Oslo is not yet counted for some reason (ca. 2500 people eligible there).

That would appear to be Sogn High School, which was closed before polling began due to asbestos. Of course, this was not discovered while thousands of students were filed through there over the years, or all the other times it was used as a polling station, or while it was used for special education.

Anyway, buses were set up and people who wanted to vote were moved to different stations.

Ah, ok. Sucks for the students and teachers. Asbest is quite dangerous.

So, no further votes expected from there.

Turnout remains at 78.1%

It's actually been closed for a few years, and only been used for Norwegian as a Second Language and some disabled groups. It used to be Oslo's big troublemaking school, with more than 2000 vocational students gathered in one place. The asbestos has probably been there for a few years, though...

The big problem for the municipality is that they were planning to reopen it and use it as temporary facilities for a new high school in 2015. Getting rid of the asbestos could take a while.

[Franknburger]

Getting rid of the asbestos could take a while.

Not necessarily. It is typically the ceiling panels holding it, which can be replaced rather easily and fast. If it is in the wall insulation (for fire protection reasons), however, it might become a nightmare.

In any case, considering when they found out that asbestos can cause cancer, the school must be at least 30 years old, and is probably pretty energy inefficient. Might be cheaper to tear it down and rebuild it...

[HansOslo]

My borough (Frogner) came in heavily for the centre-right, with 42,5 % going to Høyre, and 23 % to the remaining parties on the right.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Just to introduce something that those who've not followed Norwegian elections before that's not unnoticeable in voting patterns, language:



Blue shows municipalities where the official written language is Nynorsk, red where it is Bokmål, and grey where are neutral.

Also found a map of dialect groups:



West Norwegian, North Norwegian, East Norwegian and Trøndelag Norwegian. It's not so hard to work out where's where.

Nice maps, Sibboleth.

The written language map, while accurate, may give non-Norwegians the wrong impression: practically all of the "neutral" municipalities consist mainly of Bokmål users - as do, I think, even some of the officially Nynorsk municipalities. The nationwide ratio is approximately 90% bokmål- 10% nynorsk.


Here is a list of the best and worst municipalities of the main parties btw: http://www.nrk.no/valg2013/her-har-venstre-og-sp-rent-flertall-1.11232635


Labour Party, Best results: Årdal 63%, Sunndal 52%, Sel 51%. Worst: Eid 10%, Gloppen 10%, Bjerkreim 12%.

Larger map can be seen via the magick of right click.

But isn't that so very pretty?

[Viewfromthenorth]

All political stereotypes of the city of Oslo can be confirmed in that one map.

[Tender Branson]

I assume the workers/immigrants live mostly in that North-East peninsula-looking part of the city ? Where also the FrP is strongest ?

And the upper middle class people in the SW part of Oslo ?

[Franknburger]

Plus the classical green-leftish (SV, MDG, R) inner city. The older Liberals (V) have started to settle down in the western suburbs, which are otherwise firmly in Hoyre hands (of course, as all over north-western Europe, the wind blows mostly from the west, so that is where the air is better).

Yes, primarily. Though there is a big exception to the regular west/east split - the district of Nordstrand which is considered "the West side of Oslo East" (Østkantens vestkant), which is an upper-middle class area dominated by Høyre. (There are other exceptions as well, of course, but that is easily the most glaring one when looking at these maps)

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Psephologically speaking, Oslo is basically the classic Northern European City.

V is actually much closer to SV and MdG than it is to H (all three have highest levels of strength in the city center); it may be H's closest correlation but the converse is far from true.
