Market Towns Of Hedmark And Oppland Counties
The Market towns of Hedmark and Oppland counties ( no, Kjøpstedene i Hedmark og Oppland fylker) was an electoral district for parliamentary elections in Norway. It comprised the market towns ( no, kjøpsteder) of Hamar and Kongsvinger in Hedmark county and Lillehammer and Gjøvik in Oppland county.
