As of 2023, the number of female mayors in Norway was record high. More than a third of the mayors in Norway were female, and the share of women in chairmanship positions in the Norwegian municipalities was 44 percent. These numbers are unprecedented in the Norwegian political history. The political transformation is indeed a recent one. Within twenty years, from 1999 to 2019, the share of female mayors more than doubled in Norway.
