Election style in Norway

Norway is having local election this month. Due to my language problem, I could not understand more on it but I was surprised when a leader handover me red roses at a train station. I came to know that the pamphlet was of the party and red rose was their election symbol. Wow! what a good idea of election campaigning! I also heard that people can cast their vote electronically through their computer and not on a day but between the dates provided by the election commission. Even non-Norwegians living in the country for more than three years can also cast their votes. Today, 10th Sept. 2007 is the last day of casting votes.
