European Parliament election, 2004 (Austria)

The European Parliament election of 2004 in Austria was the election of MEP representing Austria constituency for the 2004-2009 term of the European Parliament. It was part of the wider 2004 European election. The vote took place on June 13.

The parties of the left, the Austrian Social Democratic Party and the Greens, improved their share of the vote.
