63. Every one who is elected as a representative, shall be in
duty bound to accept the election, unless he is chosen under the
circumstances mentioned in the last paragraph of § 58, or is
prevented by an impediment that is judged lawful by the electoral
representatives, whose decision can be submitted to judgment of the
Storthing. Any one who has attended as representative at the
three ordinary Storthings after one election, is not obliged to accept
election at the next election for the Storthing. If a representative
is prevented by lawful impediment from attending the Storthing, the
person who has the greatest number of votes after him, or, if a special
election to fill the vacancy has been held by the district convention,
then the representative elected to fill the vacancy shall take his place.
64. As soon as the representatives are elected, they shall be
furnished with a certificate signed in the country districts by the
chief magistrate, and in the towns by the burgomaster, as well as
by all the electoral representatives as evidence of their having been
elected in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. It is for the
Storthing to judge of the validity of these certificates.
65. Every representative shall be entitled to reimbursement
from the Exchequer for travelling expenses to and from the Storthing,
and for maintenance during the time he stays there.
66. The representatives shall be exempt from personal arrest
while on their way to and from the Storthing, as well as during their
stay there, unless they are caught in public crimes; nor can they
be called to account outside the meetings of the Storthing for the
opinions they have expressed there. Every representative shall be
bound to conform to the rules of the Storthing.
67. The representatives elected in the manner aforesaid shall
constitute the Storthing of the Kingdom of Norway.
68. The Storthing shall as a rule assemble on the first week-day
after the tenth of October every year in the capital of the kingdom,
unless the King, by reason of extraordinary circumstances, such as
hostile invasion or infectious disease, shall appoint for the purpose
another town in the kingdom. Such an appointment must then be
publicly notified in good time.
69. In extraordinary cases the King shall have the right to
summon the Storthing at an unusual time. The King shall then
issue a proclamation, which shall be read in all the churches of the
episcopal cities at least fourteen days before the members of the
Storthing are to meet at the appointed place.
70. Such an extraordinary Storthing may be dissolved by the
King when he may think proper.
71. The members of the Storthing shall act as such for three
successive years in extraordinary as well as in the ordinary
Storthings that are held during that period.
72. If an extraordinary Storthing is still in session at the time
when an ordinary Storthing is to open, the former shall be dissolved
before the latter assembles.
