Elections to the United States House of Representatives were held in Pennsylvania on October 12, 1802, for the 8th Congress.

Background

In the previous election, 13 Representatives (10 Democratic-Republicans and 3 Federalists) had been elected to the 7th Congress. Two (both Democratic-Republicans) had resigned and were replaced in special elections by others of the same party.

Congressional districts

Pennsylvania gained 5 seats in reapportionment following the 1800 census. In redistricting, the number of districts was reduced from 12 to 11, of which four were plural districts with 11 Representatives between them. Most of the new districts had borders that were very different from the previous districts. The new districts were as follows:

• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Delaware and Philadelphia counties (including the City of Philadelphia)
• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Bucks, Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton, and Wayne Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Berks, Chester, and Lancaster Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr (2 seats) consisted of Cumberland, Dauphin, Huntingdon, and Mifflin Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Centre, Lycoming, and Northumberland Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Adams and York Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Bedford and Franklin Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Armstrong, Somerset, and Westmoreland Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Fayette and Greene Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Washington County
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Erie, Mercer, Venango, and Warren Counties

Numerous counties had been created between 1800 and 1802 split off from other counties, and several were still administratively attached to other counties.

Note: Many of these counties covered much larger areas than they do today, having since been divided into smaller counties

Election results

Twelve incumbents (9 Democratic-Republicans and 3 Federalists) ran for re-election, many in new districts. William Jones (DR) of the Шаблон:Ushr did not run for re-election. Of those who ran for re-election, all 9 Democratic-Republicans were re-elected, and all 3 Federalists lost to Democratic-Republicans. The six open seats were all won by Democratic-Republicans, returning an all-Democratic-Republican delegation to the 8th Congress.
