Election

Norway had a federal election on September 9--but I only became aware of it the following day.  Unlike North American elections there were no billboards, posters, TV ads, etc.  I am not sure how people find out about the candidates and issues but the system works as there was almost 78% voter turn-out.  It was refreshing not having to put up with the "junk" that accompanies an election campaign.
