Request 6116, answer from the Norwegian parliament
Members of the Storting can not resign. Only the voters who gave them confidence can renew or take away that same confidence.
This derives from the Constitution, section 63, second paragraph which states that: "It is the duty of all persons who are elected as
Members of the Storting to accept election." See further information from this article:
