Elections to choose members of the North Carolina Council of State (who head executive branch departments) were held on Tuesday, November 2, 2004. The U.S. Presidential election, U.S. House election, U.S. Senate election, the North Carolina General Assembly election, and North Carolina judicial elections were all held on the same day.
In all but two races (Superintendent of Public Instruction and Labor Commissioner), incumbent Democrats sought re-election and Democrats held both. However, two Democratic incumbents lost for Auditor and Agriculture Commissioner.
