PROXY STATEMENT
Relating to
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
to be held on June 4, 2004

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is being furnished by the Board of Directors of Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. a Washington corporation (the "Corporation"), to holders of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock ("Common Stock") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation to be held on Friday, June 4, 2004 and any adjournment or adjournments thereof (the "Annual Meeting") for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about May 3, 2004. The Annual Report of the Corporation for the year ending December 31, 2003 was mailed to stockholders prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement. Such Annual Report does not form any part of the material for solicitation of proxies.

PURPOSES OF ANNUAL MEETING

Election of Director

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see "Voting at Annual Meeting") will be asked to consider and take action on the election of John Schooley as a director to the Corporation's Board of Directors to serve for a three year term. See "Election of Directors."

Ratification of Auditor

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to ratify the selection of Moe O’Shaughnessy & Associates, P.S. as independent auditor and tax service provider for the Corporation for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. See "Approval of Auditors."

Other Business

To transact other matters as may properly come before the annual meeting, postponement(s) or any adjournment(s) thereof. See "Other Matters".

VOTING AT ANNUAL MEETING

General

The close of business on the Record Date of April 22, 2004 has been fixed as the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"). As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 5,098,667 shares of Common Stock entitled to vote. A majority of such shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The holders of record on the Record Date of the shares entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting are entitled to cast one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. All action proposed herein may be taken upon a favorable vote of the holders of a majority of such shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting provided a quorum is present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Proxies

Shares of Common Stock which are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting and which are represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If no instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted: (1) FOR election of John L. Schooley to the Corporation's Board of Directors, (2) FOR the ratification of the selection of Moe O’Shaughnessy & Associates, P.S., as independent auditor and tax service provider; (3) AT the discretion of the proxy holder, any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting. A shareholder who has executed and returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by executing and returning a proxy bearing a later date, by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or delivering instruction to the Corporation via email and with written confirmation. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incompetence of the maker unless, before the authority granted thereunder is exercised, written notice of such death or incompetence is received by the Corporation from the executor or administrator of the estate or from a fiduciary having control of the shares represented by such proxy.

The indication of an abstention on a proxy or the failure to vote either by proxy or in person will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor "against" the election of any director. Each of the other matters must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. Abstention from voting will have the practical effect of voting against these matters since it is one less vote for approval. Broker non-votes, shares held by brokers or nominees for the accounts of others as to which voting instructions have not been given, will be treated as shares that are present for determining a quorum, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a proposal. Brokers and nominees, under applicable law, may vote shares for which no instructions have been given in their discretion in the election of directors.

The Corporation will bear all the costs and expenses relating to the solicitation of proxies, including the costs of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and accompanying material to shareholders. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, the directors, officers, and employees of the Corporation, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or telegram.

1. ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

It is intended that the proxies solicited hereby will be voted for election of the nominee for director listed below, unless authority to do so has been withheld.

If a substitute nominee is selected, proxies will be voted in favor of such nominee.

The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with the terms of office of each class ending in successive years. The terms of directors of Class I expire with the 2006 Annual Meeting, terms of directors of Class II expire with the 2004 Annual Meeting, and the terms of directors in Class III expire with the 2005 Annual Meeting.

CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee and Stock Option Committee, both held meetings on February 21, 2003. All directors attended the meetings either physically or via teleconference, with the exception of the June 5, 2003 meeting where Melvin Brown was not present.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors has not currently adopted a code of ethics at the time of the preparation of this Proxy Statement. The Board of Directors is undertaking evaluation of a code of ethics and expects to finalize and adopt a code of ethics at the directors meeting to be convened prior to the Annual Shareholders meeting on June 4, 2004. The Board of Directors will undertake proper disclosure subsequent to adoption of a code of ethics.

COMMITTEES

There is no Compensation or Nominating Committees. The Board has established a Stock Option Committee, and an Audit Committee. The sole purpose of the Stock Option Committee is to research and make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding issuance of Stock Options pursuant to the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan.

The Audit Committee consists of the following members: Melvin H. Brown, Chairman, Robert Southworth, Member, and John Schooley, Member. The Audit Committee held one meeting during 2003. The Audit Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities as pertaining to the accounting policies and reporting practices of Electronic Systems Technology, pursuant to the Committee’s charter. Mr. Brown is considered to be a non-independent member of the Audit Committee, however his serving as the Chairman of the Committee was deemed by the Board to be in the best interest of the Corporation due to Mr. Brown’s experience and familiarity with the Corporation. The Board of Directors has determined that none of the audit committee members can be classified as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. The Board of Directors does not contain a member that can be classified as an "audit committee financial expert" under the referenced definition. The Board of Directors believes that attracting and retaining board members that could be classified as an "audit committee financial expert" is unlikely due to the high cost of such Director candidates.

The Audit Committee’s report for the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix 1. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 added a number of provisions to Federal law to strengthen the authority of, and increase the responsibility of, corporate audit committees. In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Audit Committee has ultimate authority and responsibility to select, compensate, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the Corporation’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of Management and the independent auditors, nor can the Audit Committee certify that the independent auditors are "independent" under applicable rules. The Audit Committee serves as a board-level oversight, in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to Management and the auditors on the basis of the information it receives, discussion with Management and the auditors, and the experience of the Audit Committee’s members in business and financial matters.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Corporation contracted for services from Manufacturing Services, Inc. in the amount of $125,097. Manufacturing Services, Inc. is owned and operated by Melvin H. Brown, who is a Director of Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. Management believes all prices for services, provided by Manufacturing Services, Inc., were as favorable as could be obtained from comparable manufacturing services companies.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Director compensation is limited to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are incurred in connection with the directors duties associated with the Corporation's business.

AUDIT FEES

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company paid Moe O’Shaughnessy & Associates, P.S., in the amount of $15,518 for audit and tax preparation professional services, and review of the Corporation’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The Company incurred no fees for financial information systems design and implementation during 2003.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires that the Company’s directors, executive officers, and the holders of 10% or more of the Company’s common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors, and stockholders holding more than 10% of the Company’s common stock are required by the Regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 1`6(a) forms they have filed.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, in the best knowledge of Management, there was no director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% any class of our securities who failed to file on a timely basis the required disclosure form as required by Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND OTHER MATTERS

The Corporation's next annual meeting is scheduled for June 3, 2005.
