Legislative elections were held in Greece on March 7, 2004.

 CNN Transcript - Larry King Live: When Will Florida Certify Its Election? - November 17, 2000
State elections are governed by Florida law and we believe that's the way it should be and that's why we think the Florida law is clear that seven days after the election, it's over, except for the overseas ballots which we're now counting.
And then the other election is going to be the election that includes the votes from the extra two or three counties that have been recounted for a fourth or fifth time.
One election is going to be the election, including the votes certified and counted as of Tuesday, I guess it was, last week, plus the absentee ballots, which probably is going to have Governor Bush ahead.

 Sample Chapter for Posner, R.: Breaking the Deadlock: The 2000 Election, the Constitution, and the Courts.
The 1824 election taught that a President who had lost both the popular and the electoral vote--and who owed his election only to the House of Representatives, because the electoral-vote winner had had only a plurality, and not a majority, of the electoral votes--might not be accepted by the nation as fully legitimate.
In the 2000 Presidential election, little more than a third of the population actually cast a ballot that was counted as a vote for one of the Presidential candidates, and the winner of the popular vote lost the election, because the loser had more electoral votes.
Because it became an issue in the 2000 election deadlock and its aftermath, we should consider the merit of the goal of universal suffrage--especially when it is pressed to the point of insisting that people who cannot read well enough to follow voting instructions should be permitted, perhaps even assisted, to vote.

 Encyclopedia article: ROC presidential election, 2000
To avoid a repeat of the 2000 split, Lien and Soong agreed to run on a single ticket as president and vice president, respectively, in the 2004 election (additional info and facts about 2004 election).
As the results were announced, several thousand protestors, mostly Soong supporters who were angered that their candidate did not receive the KMT nomination and who believed Lee had intentionally tried to sabotage the pro-reunification vote, gathered outside the KMT headquarters in Taipei and demanded Lee Teng-hui resign as Chairman.
Both he and his party publicly encouraged people to vote for James Soong to the point of stating during the presidential debates that he was not planing to vote for himself and that people should vote for Soong so that the pro-reunification vote would not be split.

 CIA - The World Factbook -- Field Listing - Background
Although nominally a constitutional democracy since 1991, the 1996 and 2002 presidential elections - as well as the 1999 legislative elections - were widely seen as being flawed.
Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction have floundered as conservative politicians have prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and consolidated their control over the government.
Presidential elections scheduled for 2005 are unlikely to bring change since the opposition remains weak, divided, and financially dependent on the current regime.
