Plebiscite2004 was part of an extraordinary world-wide network of self-generated and self-organized voting projects related to the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Hundreds of thousands of people voted online and thousands more voted in-person.

All persons over the age of 18 who did not have the right to vote in the 2004 U.S. election were cordially invited to cast their vote for United States President.

Plebiscite polling stations were set up at key locations around the world to allow non-U.S. citizens to cast their votes for United States President. U.S. citizens voted in the general U.S election. Both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens were invited to fill out questionnaires about the plebiscite project and the various issues about the nature of democracy that it raises.

The results were hand-tabulated in a public performance on November 2, 2004 at Beaconsfield, an arts center located in Vauxhall, London.
