Summary

Peter Frølich and Audun Lysbakken have submitted a proposal to amend the Constitution's § 90. The proposers argue that the King should be referred to with equal respect in Nynorsk as in Bokmål, and the proposal aims to write 'Kongen' (the King) with a capital K in the Nynorsk version to match the Bokmål version, which was already approved on May 21, 2024.
