Portal:Faroe Islands/Selected article/1
The name literally means "Law Thing" and derives from Old Norse, which was a high court in Norway's empire. Along with Manx Tynwald and the Icelandic Alþing it is one of the three old Norse assemblies of Europe, comprising one of the oldest parliamentary systems in the world. However, the Løgting is believed to be the oldest of those three, established as early as in the 9th century and recorded to exist as annual assembly in the 10th century.
The membership of the Løgting today varies from 27 to 32. The 7 constituencies have 27 seats, and up to 5 supplementary seats. The Election Act came into force in 1978, and the eight general elections since then have all resulted in 32 members.
