Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1853. As political parties were not officially established until 1884, all those elected were independents. The number of seats in the Storting was increased from 106 to 107. Voter turnout was 45%, although only 5% of the country's population was eligible to vote.
Results
Of the 107 seats, 44 were won by farmers, sheriffs, church singers and teachers, 41 by civil servants and 22 by people with other professions.
