Of course, there are actually going to be elections in 2004 in the UK, but the constitution hasn't even been agreed upon by member states yet - and is looking increasingly unlikely to be, so even the referendums in other countries about it may well take place in 2005, or not at all.
Elections that are a due in 2004 are the votes to the European Parliament, local elections, and the mayor of london and London Assembly.
