referansevalget
Referansevalget, or the reference election, is a political process in Norway that occurs every four years. It is a non-binding election where voters choose a reference group of 150 people from a larger pool of candidates. The purpose of the reference election is to provide a broader representation of Norwegian society, including those who may not be politically active or affiliated with any party. The reference group is then used to evaluate the performance of the government and its policies, as well as to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. The reference election is conducted using a proportional representation system, with voters casting their votes for individual candidates rather than for political parties. The results of the reference election are published in a report that is made available to the public and to the government. The reference election is an important part of Norway's democratic system, as it allows for a more inclusive and representative evaluation of the government's performance.
