The 2004 Victorian local elections were held on 26 November 2004 to elect the councils of 22 of the 79 local government areas in Victoria, Australia.[1]

Until 2008, local elections in Victoria were conducted periodically, meaning 54 councils were not up for election in 2004. An additional three LGAs that were scheduled to vote in 2004 also did not have elections.[2]

A shift away from single-member wards in favour of multi-member wards began in 2004, in particular in the Greater Melbourne area.[3]

The election in Yarra saw the first-ever victory for the Socialist Party, with Stephen Jolly elected in Langridge Ward.[4] He was reportedly the first elected socialist councillor in Melbourne "since the Second World War".[5]

In Melbourne, Labor Party members ran on a ticket called 'Active Local Progressive' (ALP), led by Raymond Collins.[6]
