They were held alongside other local elections in the United Kingdom. The previous elections were held in 1999. The elections were originally scheduled for May 2003, but were delayed to avoid a conflict with the 2003 Wales Assembly elections. However, this meant they took place on the same day as the 2004 elections to the European Parliament.http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/electoral_commission_pdf_file/0015/16143/RallingsThrasher_15173-11355__E__N__S__W__.pdf Analysis of local election results data for Wales 2004 (including turnout and extent of postal voting) Electoral Commission 2 2 June 2019 3,135 candidates competed for 1,262 council seats across Wales, in 879 electoral wards.
