2004 Welsh local elections
The 2004 Welsh local elections took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members of all twenty-two local authorities in Wales. They were held alongside 2004 [United Kingdom local elections|other local elections in the United Kingdom]. The previous elections were held in 1999.
The elections were originally scheduled for May 2003, but were delayed to avoid a conflict with the 2003 [National Assembly for Wales election|2003 Wales Assembly elections]. However, this meant they took place on the same day as the 2004 [European Parliament election in the United Kingdom|2004 elections to the European Parliament]. 3,135 candidates competed for 1,262 council seats across Wales, in 879 electoral wards.
