The1802–03 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between April 26, 1802 (inNew York) and December 14, 1803 (inNew Jersey). Each state set its own date for its elections to theHouse of Representatives, either before or after the first session of the8th United States Congress convened on October 17, 1803. They occurred duringPresidentThomas Jefferson's first term in office.
With the addition of the new state of Ohio's representatives, and thecongressional reapportionment based on the1800 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 forDemocratic-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 ofWestern farmers. As a result, the Democratic-Republicans won the largest proportion of seats that either they or the competingFederalists had ever been able to secure in any earlier Congress, asupermajority greater than two-thirds of the total number.
These elections were the first followingreapportionment after the1800 census. Thirty-five new seats were added in reapportionment,[1] with three states having no change in apportionment, and thirteen states gaining between 1 and 7 seats. One further seat was added for the new state ofOhio, which is included in this table below.[2]
