The Turkish local elections of 2004 were held throughout the eighty-one Provinces of Turkey on 28 March 2004 in order to elect both mayors and councillors to local government positions.

In the event, the CHP was only able to maintain a degree of support in the provincial regions on the Turkish west coast.

Among the four major cities the party was only able to win İzmir, with the AKP winning a majority in the cities of Istanbul, Adana and the Turkish capital, Ankara.

The AKP also took the tourist centre Antalya, where the head of the CHP, Deniz Baykal, was the party’s candidate.

The main political arm of the Kurdish nationalist movement, the Democratic People's Party (DEHAP), entered these elections in a coalition with five small socialist parties, yet together these parties received fewer votes (5 percent) than the DEHAP received alone in the 2002 elections (6.1 percent).
