2004 Uruguayan general election
General elections were held in Uruguay on 31 October, alongside a constitutional referendum. The result was a victory for the Broad Front, marking the first time a party other than the Colorado Party or National Party had held power since the two parties were formed in the 1830s.
As a result of the Broad Front receiving more than 50% of the vote, its leader, Tabaré Vázquez, was elected president without the need for a second round. To date, this is the only time that a presidential election has been decided in a single round since the two-round system was introduced in 1999. The Broad Front also won majorities in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.Results
