A federal election was held on Friday, September 17, 2004 for the 7th Parliament of Craftia. The left-wing Bergensten Environment Party-National United Party coalition government, led by Prime Minister Steve Bergensten, defeated the opposition right-wing Craftia Conservation Party and the Right Coalition, led by Opposition Leader James Traves.
The election resulted in a hung parliament, with no party gaining an absolute majority (the Socialist Coalition was one seat short). The Socialist Coalition gained the confidence of both independent members, scraping in a bare majority of 2 seats to win the election.
