	Icelandic presidential election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A presidential election was held in Iceland on Saturday, 26 June 2004.
		Traditionally, Icelandic presidential elections in which the incumbent president indicates a wish to obtain a new mandate are uncontested.
		Unlike parliamentary elections in Iceland, presidential elections are not fought on the basis of party politics; instead, candidates attempt to use their personalities to attract supporters and appear as a living symbol of national unity.

	MonkeyFilter \| International team to monitor presidential election
		The impetus behind my statement was a comment by someone or other who said that the American system of government is the one that best handles the transfer of power, which is historically the sticky point of all governments.
		In those cases, I think the British (or Canadian) parliamentary system (the ones I know best)* might actually be even a bit better at that kind of transfer of power, as the monarch (or her representative) is responsible for ensuring that the duly elected party forms the new government.
		In Canada, the elections are all run by a politically neutral organisation, and the military swear loyalty not to the government but to the Queen, and thus to the Governor General in her stead, so it would be very difficult to use them to bolster any attempt at a coup.

		It is possible that more votes were actually cast than the current estimate, but barring a near-reversal in the current pattern of results, the changes would not be enough to drop Karzai under the 50 percent mark – even if all the remaining estimated votes went to other candidates.
		Electoral officials have said they will not call the election until the investigation into the fraud allegations and the vote count are both complete.
		But the euphoria surrounding the elections received a damper on Saturday when a suicide attacker detonated grenades in a busy shopping street in Kabul, killing an American woman and an Afghan girl and injuring three Icelandic peacekeepers.
