The CDU, which had won an absolute majority in the state parliament for the first time in the previous state election in 1999 , lost four seats and now had only two more members than the opposition parties (45 of 88 seats). The biggest winner of the election was the PDS, which had already become the second strongest political force in the country in 1999 and has now been able to further expand its lead over the SPD. It achieved gains in all constituencies and won five of the 44 direct mandates, including two each in the two largest cities of Erfurt and Gera . In 1999 all direct mandates had gone to the candidates of the CDU.
Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and FDP, which had not been represented in the state parliament since 1994, also achieved gains in all constituencies and were able to gain their respective number of votes compared to 1999, when both parties had received only 1.9 and 1.1% of the votes, respectively. more than double. Nevertheless, both failed again at the five percent hurdle.
The DVU , which in 1999 still had 3.1% of the votes and thus became the fourth strongest political force in the country, did not take part in 2004.
With Matthias Bärwolff (PDS), an 18-year-old high school graduate, the youngest member of the state parliament was elected.
