The 1802–03 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between April 26, 1802 (in New York) and December 14, 1803 (in New Jersey). Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives, either before or after the first session of the 8th United States Congress convened on October 17, 1803. They occurred during President Thomas Jefferson's first term in office.

With the addition of the new state of Ohio's representatives, and the congressional reapportionment based on the 1800 United States census, the size of the House increased from 106 to 142 seats. The greatest population growth revealed in the 1800 census was in territories that constituted the western regions of the country at the time, a tremendous boost for Democratic-Republican candidates. Nearly all of the new seats created in the reapportionment went to Democratic-Republicans, closely aligned as they were with the agrarian interests of Western farmers. As a result, the Democratic-Republicans won the largest proportion of seats that either they or the competing Federalists had ever been able to secure in any earlier Congress, a supermajority greater than two-thirds of the total number.
Election summaries

Thirty-five new seats were added in reapportionment, with three states having no change in apportionment, and thirteen states gaining between 1 and 7 seats.

- The official date when Ohio became a state was not set until 1953, when the 83rd Congress passed legislation retroactively designating the date of the first meeting of the Ohio state legislature, March 1, 1803, as that date. However, on April 30, 1802, the 7th Congress had passed an act "authorizing the inhabitants of Ohio to form a Constitution and state government, and admission of Ohio into the Union." On February 19, 1803, the same Congress passed an act "providing for the execution of the laws of the United States in the State of Ohio." The Biographical Directory of the United States Congress states that Ohio was admitted to the Union on November 29, 1802, and counts its seats as vacant from that date.

- Thomas Lewis Jr. (Federalist) was initially declared the winner with 1,004 votes for Lewis, 832 for Andrew Moore (Democratic-Republican), and 423 for John Woodward (Federalist). However, upon investigation by the House Committee on Elections, it was determined that 355 votes for Lewis and 124 votes for Moore were cast by individuals who did not meet Virginia's voter qualifications, making the adjusted totals 708 legal votes for Moore and 649 legal votes for Lewis, thus, the Committee awarded this seat to Moore on March 5, 1804.
- Only the two top candidates listed here, partial returns suggest Jones won by a very large majority.

The 1802 03 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between April 26 1802 in New York and December 14 1803 in New Jersey Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives either before or after the first session of the 8th United States Congress convened on October 17 1803 They occurred during President Thomas Jefferson s first term in office 1802 03 United States House of Representatives elections 1800 amp 1801 April 26 1802 December 14 1803 1804 amp 1805 outgoing memberselected members All 142 seats in

UndistrictedSpeaker before election Nathaniel Macon Democratic Republican Elected Speaker Nathaniel Macon Democratic Republican With the addition of the new state of Ohio s representatives and the congressional reapportionment based on the 1800 United States census the size of the House increased from 106 to 142 seats The greatest population growth revealed in the 1800 census was in territories that constituted the western regions of the country at the time a tremendous boost for Democratic Republican candidates Nearly all of the new seats created in the reapportionment went to Democratic Republicans closely aligned as they were with the agrarian interests of Western farmers As a result the Democratic Republicans won the largest proportion of seats that either they or the competing Federalists had ever been able to secure in any earlier Congress a supermajority greater than two thirds of the total number Election summariesThese elections were the first following reapportionment after the 1800 census Thirty five new seats were added in reapportionment with three states having no change in apportionment and thirteen states gaining between 1 and 7 seats One further seat was

the date of the first meeting of the Ohio state legislature March 1 1803 as that date However on April 30 1802 the 7th Congress had passed an act authorizing the inhabitants of Ohio to form a Constitution and state government and admission of Ohio into the Union On February 19 1803 the same Congress passed an act providing for the execution of the laws of the United States in the State of Ohio The Biographical Directory of the United States Congress states that Ohio was admitted to the Union on November 29 1802 and counts its seats as vacant from that date Former delegate for the Northwest Territory Changed parties Thomas Lewis Jr Federalist was initially declared the winner with 1 004 votes for Lewis 832 for Andrew Moore Democratic Republican and 423 for John Woodward Federalist However upon investigation by the House Committee on Elections it was determined that 355 votes for Lewis and 124 votes for Moore were cast by individuals who did not meet Virginia s voter qualifications making the adjusted totals 708 legal votes for Moore and 649 legal votes for Lewis thus the Committee awarded this seat to Moore on March 5 1804 Only the two top candidates listed here
