The 2004 Alabama Republican presidential primary was held on June 1, 2004, to choose the state's 45 pledged delegates to the 2004 Republican National Convention.
Incumbent President George W. Bush won the primary and all of the state's delegates.
Alabama was allocated 48 delegates to the Republican National Convention: 45 were allocated based on the results of the primary, with the other three being unpledged superdelegates.
Of the 45 pledged delegates, 21 were assigned to the state's seven congressional districts, with three delegates per district. A candidate would win all the delegates in a congressional district if they won a majority of the vote, or if no other candidate earned at least 15% of the vote. If the candidate with the most votes in a congressional district won less than 50% of the vote and the second-place candidate won at least 15%, the candidate with the most votes would be awarded two delegates, with the remaining delegate being allotted to the runner-up.

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is a series of presidential nominating conventions held every four years since 1832 by the United States Democratic Party. They have been administered by the Democratic National Committee since the 1852 national convention. The primary goal of the Democratic National Convention is to officially nominate a candidate for president and vice president, adopt a comprehensive party platform, and unify the party. Pledged delegates from all fifty U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the American territories, and superdelegates which are unpledged delegates representing the Democratic establishment, attend the convention and cast their votes to choose the party's presidential candidate. Like the Republican National Convention, the Democratic National Convention marks the formal end of the primary election period and the start of the general election season. Since the 1980s, national conventions have become mostly inaugural events for the winning candidate, since winners are announced long before the convention. In 2020, both major parties, and many minor parties, replaced their usual in-person conventions with virtual programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In American politics, a superdelegate is a delegate to a presidential nominating convention who is seated automatically.
The Republican National Convention (RNC) is a series of presidential nominating conventions held every four years since 1856 by the Republican Party in the United States. They are administered by the Republican National Committee.
