State assembly elections were held in Malaysia on 21 March 2004 in all states except Sarawak.^[1] The elections took place alongside general elections, and saw Barisan Nasional and its allies won majorities in all states except Kelantan where, despite earlier reports to the contrary, Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) retained control with a narrow majority of 24 seats to BN's 21. The National Front regained control of the state of Terengganu, which it lost to the PAS in 1999.
