  • Presidential elections were held in the Republic of Macedonia in two phases during April 2004. The elections were necessitated by the death in an air crash in February of President Boris Trajkovski. In the first round, held on April 14, 2004, Prime Minister Branko Crvenkovski of the Social Democratic Union led the poll but failed to secure an absolute majority. Because no candidate received an absolute majority, on April 28 a second round was held between Crvenkovski and the Christian Democratic candidate Saško Kedev. Crvenkovski was victorious in this run-off, with just over 60% of the vote compared to Kedev's just less than 40%. Turnout was 53.84% – a factor of relevance because, under the Republic of Macedonia's Constitution, a turnout of less than 50% would have invalidated the election. In the immediate aftermath, Kedev alleged massive electoral fraud.
  • Le elezioni presidenziali macedoni del 2004 si sono tenute il 14 (primo turno) e 28 aprile (secondo turno). Le elezioni vennero indette anticipatamente a causa della morte in un incidente aereo nel febbraio 2004 del Presidente Boris Trajkovski. Nella prima tornata elettorale, tenutasi il 14 aprile 2004, il Primo Ministro Branko Crvenkovski dell'Unione Socialdemocratica fu il primo per numero di voti, ma non riuscì ad assicurare una maggioranza assoluta. Poiché nessun candidato aveva ricevuto la maggioranza assoluta, il 28 aprile si tenne il ballottaggio tra Crvenkovski e il candidato cristiano democratico Saško Kedev. Crvenkovski uscì vittorioso, con i due terzi dei voti. Subito dopo le elezioni, Kedev accusò una massiccia frode elettorale.
