The Odelsting forms the lower house of Norway's Storting or parliament, the Lagting being the upper house. The Storting is, in fact, unicameral, but divides into two chambers for reviewing legislation. The Odelsting consists of those three-quarters of the Storting's members, who have not been elected to form the Lagting.
