You can vote in advance at the Norwegian embassy in Addis Ababa. You can contact the embassy directly by email consular.addis.abeba@mfa.no or phone number +251 11317 04 20 to make an appointment.
Due to sporadic disruptions in postal service between Ethiopia and Norway, the embassy is unable to accept votes until August 29. We are therefore only accepting advance votes until August 15.
You can find more information on voting abroad at valg.no – Voting from abroad.
Who can vote?
You have the right to vote in the 2025 Parliamentary election if you
- are a Norwegian citizen
- are 18 years old or older by the end of 2025
- are or have been registered as a resident in Norway
If you have been residing abroad for 10 years or more, you no longer have to apply to re-register in the National Population Register. When your vote is approved by the municipality you were last registered as residing in, they will register you in the National Population Register at the same time.
You must have a valid ID to vote. Your ID must specify your name, date of birth, and display a photo of you.
Voting by mail
Voters abroad who are unable to get to a polling station can vote by mail. You can order official voting materials from the embassy in Addis Ababa at consular.addis.abeba@mfa.no or phone number +251 11317 04 20.
It is also possible to vote using nonofficial voting materials. You can find a step-by-step guide on how to do this at valg.no – Voting by mail.
Voters who vote by mail are personally responsible for making sure they send their vote early enough for it to arrive in the correct municipality in Norway by 17:00 on Tuesday 9th September.
Voting at the Sámi Parliament Election
The Sámi Parliament Election is held at the same time as the parliamentary election.
Every Sámi that is registered in the Sámi Parliamentary Election Register by midnight 30th June, has the right to vote at the Sami Parliament Election.
Visit the Sami Parliament's website for more information about voting rights at the Sami Parliament Election.
