Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1862. As political parties were not officially established until 1884, all those elected were independents. The number of seats in the Storting was reduced from 117 to 111. Voter turnout was 45%, although only 5% of the country's population was eligible to vote.
Of the 111 seats, 47 were won by farmers, sheriffs, church singers and teachers, 37 by civil servants and 26 by people with other professions.
