The 2002 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2002, with the primary election held on Tuesday, September 10, 2002.[5][6] Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms.[7]
The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. House, Governor, and Arizona Senate.[8][9]
Following the previous election in 2000, Republicans held a 36-to-24-seat majority over Democrats.[10][11] Republicans expanded their majority in 2002, winning 39 seats. At 21 members, Democrats experienced a net loss of three seats.[5][8][9] The newly elected members served in the 46th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Jake Flake was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[a]
These were the first elections in Arizona following the 2000 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries.[12]
