'''[[European Parliament Election, 2004|Elections to the European Parliament]]''' were held in [[Poland]] on 13 June 2004. 20.87% of eligible citizens voted; of these, 97.33% of the votes cast were valid. The elections resulted in a heavy defeat for the governing [[Alliance of the Democratic Left]] and [[Labor Union (Poland)|Labor Union]] parties, although the very low turnout makes a direct comparison with national election results difficult. As expected the most successful party was the [[Civic Platform]]. Second place was taken by the strongly anti-EU [[League of Polish Families]].

The radical [[populism|populist]] [[Self-Defense of the Polish Republic]], which some opinion polls had predicted would come second, came fourth after the [[Law and Justice]] party. The election results were a success for [[Social Democracy of Poland]], which managed to cross the required 5% threshold, and the [[Freedom Union (Poland)|Freedom Union]], which got over twice the expected percentage of votes.

Result by Powiats

Elections to the European Parliament were held in Poland on 13 June 2004. 20.87% of eligible citizens voted; of these, 97.33% of the votes cast were valid. The elections resulted in a heavy defeat for the governing Alliance of the Democratic Left and Labor Union parties, although the very low turnout makes a direct comparison with national election results difficult. As expected the most successful party was the Civic Platform. Second place was taken by the strongly anti-EU League of Polish Families.

The radical populist Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland, which some opinion polls had predicted would come second, came fourth after the Law and Justice party. The election results were a success for Social Democracy of Poland, which managed to cross the required 5% threshold, and the Freedom Union, which got over twice the expected percentage of votes.
