About our data

Innsyn is built on open parliamentary data. This page explains where our data comes from, how it is processed, what quality controls are in place, and what limitations you should be aware of when using it for research or journalism.

Data sources

All parliamentary data on Innsyn comes from Stortinget Open Data, the official open data platform of the Norwegian Parliament. The data is made available under an open licence and is updated by Stortinget as parliamentary activity occurs.

Innsyn is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated in partnership with the Storting or the Norwegian government.

What's included

Innsyn currently covers the current parliamentary session (2026–2027) with the following data types:

Bills & proposals
All legislative proposals (Prop., Meld., Dokument 8) submitted to the Storting, including status and committee assignments.
Votes
Parliamentary division votes, including individual MP voting records (for, against, absent) where available.
Questions
Written questions (skriftlige spørsmål), oral question time (spørretime), and interpellations — with minister responses where published.
Members of Parliament
Current MPs with party affiliation, constituency, committee memberships, and parliamentary seniority.
Cabinet
Current government ministers with portfolio and party.

Historical data from previous parliamentary sessions is stored in our database but may be less complete. Hearing transcripts and full speech records are not yet included.

Update schedule

Innsyn runs an automated data pipeline that fetches the latest information from the Stortinget API on a regular schedule. Each page shows the date the relevant data was last updated so you always know how fresh the information is before citing it.

AI-generated summaries

Parliamentary bills are lengthy and written in formal legal language. To make them accessible, Innsyn generates plain-language summaries using Claude (Anthropic's AI model), and translates them into English.

Every summary goes through a two-step quality process: the model first generates the summary, then independently verifies it against the source text and flags any inconsistencies for human review. Summaries that fail the verification step are marked internally and displayed with a notice rather than shown as authoritative text.

You will see a “Summary under editorial review” notice on any bill where the AI's own verification raised a concern. These summaries are withheld until they have been reviewed and corrected.

Important: AI summaries are aids to understanding, not official legal documents. For authoritative legislative text, always refer to the original Norwegian source on stortinget.no.

Accuracy & limitations

Innsyn reflects the data available through the Stortinget API at the time of the last pipeline run. Occasional discrepancies may exist if parliamentary records are updated between our scheduled fetches.

AI summaries, while quality-checked, may still contain errors or omissions. We are continuously working to improve coverage and correctness. If you notice incorrect data or a misleading summary, please let us know.

Report an error

Accuracy matters to us. If you find an error in the data — a wrong vote count, a misleading summary, or missing information — we want to hear about it.
