The 1969 election proved to be one of the closest ones in Norwegian history. The only leftist party to win seats, the Labour Party, got 74 seats, while the right-wing parties got 76 seats. When counting the results, people started worrying that the two sides would be evenly split with 75 seats each, which would have caused a problem in determining who would be in government. To prevent this from ever happening, the Storting was expanded with 5 seats for the 1973 election, and the number of seats in the Storting has been an odd one since.
