United States general elections, 2002

The 2002 elections in the United States were held on November 5, 2002, two years after President George W. Bush won the 2000 Presidential election. The elections were held just a little under fourteen months after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Thus the elections were heavily overshadowed by the war on terror, the impending war with Iraq, and Paul Wellstone's sudden death about one week before the election.

In the United States Senate elections, the Republican Party gained 2 seats, taking Georgia, Minnesota and Missouri while the Democrats took a seat in Arkansas.
