The 2004 Welsh local elections, were held on 10 June in 22 local authorities, as part of the wider 2004 UK local elections.
The elections were originally scheduled for May 2003, but were delayed to avoid a conflict with the 2003 Wales Assembly elections. However, this meant they took place on the same day as the 2004 elections to the European Parliament.[1] 3,135 candidates competed for 1,262 council seats across Wales, in 879 electoral wards.[1]
