Parliamentary elections were held in Iceland on 25 April 1987.[1] The Independence Party remained the largest party in the Lower House of the Althing, winning 12 of the 42 seats.[2]
Electoral reform
Prior to the election three extra seats were added to the Althing for Reykjavík,[3] one in the Upper House and two in the Lower House.[4] The Hare quota replaced the D'Hondt method in the multi-member constituencies, although D'Hondt was still used for the compensatory seats.[3]
