The 2004 DeKalb County, Georgia Chief Executive Officer election took place on November 2, 2004. Incumbent CEO Vernon Jones ran for re-election to a second term. Jones, who experienced controversy in office and faced a grand jury inquiry into county finances and his security detail, was challenged by six opponents in the Democratic primary. However, Jones won renomination with 53 percent of the vote, avoiding the need for a runoff election. In the general election, Jones faced no Republican opposition and won 95 percent of the vote.
