On December 19, 2003 Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz announced the names of nine Democrats and one Republican who met the criteria of "generally and seriously advocated or recognized according to reports in the national or state news media." Further, Bysiewicz announced that "there will be no Republican primary unless qualified GOP candidates petition onto the ballot." Subsequently, Democratic candidates Dick Gephardt and Carol Moseley Braun withdrew by the January 26, 2004 deadline, and Lyndon LaRouche qualified as a petitioning candidate by submitting more than the required 6,235 signatures from enrolled Democrats. On January 27 Bysiewicz drew lots in a ceremony in the State Capitol to determine the order in which the Democrats would be listed on the ballot.
Unaffiliated and new voters have until noon March 1, 2004 to register in person or February 26, 2004 by mail to vote in the primary.
