Market towns of Østfold and Akershus counties
Encyclopedia
The Market towns of Østfold and Akershus counties was an electoral district for parliamentary elections in Norway. It comprised the market towns of Fredrikstad
, Halden
(until 1928 named Fredrikshald), Moss
and Sarpsborg
in Østfold
county and Drøbak
in Akershus
county.
The district was established ahead of the Norwegian parliamentary election, 1921
following the change from single member
constituencies to plural member constituencies in 1919.
Following changes in the national policy on market towns in 1952, these electoral districts were abolished ahead of the Norwegian parliamentary election, 1953
. Instead, each county became one electoral district, and for election purposes the towns were integrated into their respective counties.
