The purpose of this article is to study patterns of relative class voting in Norwegian Storting (parliament) elections in the period 1957 to 1989 as they appear in the Norwegian Election Studies. The study is based on seven social classes simulating the Erikson and Goldthorpe class schema. To represent the Norwegian multi-party system, three different aggregations into two-, three- and four-party groups are used, although the final analysis is confined to the three-category version (Socialist, Centre, Conservative). A multi layered topological model with eight class voting parameters was developed to allow for a disaggregated analysis of trends. Although the changes in the parameters are not consistent, the overall picture is that of a decline in relative class voting.
