Parliamentary elections were held in

Norwegian Parliament,[3] an increase of three seats compared to the Storting elected in 1876.[4]

While there were no official parties, two informal groups existed, namely Venstre, or "the Liberals" (de liberale), and Høire.[2] The latter list was called Aftenpostens og Morgenbladets liste in Christiania.[2] The Venstre opposition, led by Johan Sverdrup, gained popularity particularly in the districts, while Høire remained the most popular in the cities.[2] In Christiania, the Aftenpostens og Morgenbladets liste won about 1,800 of the votes, while Venstre won about 600.[2]
