The1902–03 United States Senate electionswere held on various dates in various states. As theseU.S. Senateelections were prior to the ratification of theSeventeenth Amendmentin 1913, senators were chosen bystate legislatures.Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1902 and 1903, and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due tolegislative deadlock.^[1]In these elections, terms were up for the senators inClass 3.

TheDemocratic Partygained four seats, but the Republicans kept their strong majority. This election marked the end of the two third parties, thePopulistsandSilver Republicans.Republicans took both Populist seats (IdahoandKansas) along with one Silver Republican seat inWashington.Democrats took the other Silver Republican seat inColoradoas incumbent SenatorHenry Tellerwas re-elected as a Democrat and flipped four Republican seats inMaryland,Kentucky,North Carolina,andNevada.Republicans flipped only one Democratic seat (Utah), but also gained both vacantDelawareseats, which had been empty due to legislative deadlock in 1898 and 1900, respectively.

Besides the double-barrel special elections in Delaware, a special election was held in Michigan.

InFlorida,the legislature failed to elect until shortly after the beginning of the58th Congresson March 4.

The election in New York was held on January 20, 1903, by theNew York State Legislature.

RepublicanThomas C. Platthad previously been re-elected to this seat in1897,and his term would expire on March 3, 1903.

At theState election in November 1902,28 Republicans and 22 Democrats were elected for a two-year term (1903–1904) in the State Senate; and 89 Republicans and 61 Democrats were elected for the session of 1903 to the Assembly. State SenatorPatrick F. Trainorwho had been re-elected, died on December 25, 1902, and his successorPeter J. Doolingwas elected only after the senatorial election, on January 27.^[28]The126th New York State Legislaturemet from January 6 to April 23, 1903, atAlbany, New York.

The Republican caucus met on January 19. 25 State senators and 84 assemblymen attended, and State SenatorWilliam W. Armstrongpresided. The caucus re-nominated the incumbent U.S. SenatorThomas C. Plattalmost unanimously. A single vote was cast for U.S. Secretary of WarElihu Rootby Assemblyman William A. Denison, ofJefferson County.Besides Denison voting against Platt, a small number of anti-Platt men did not attend the caucus. Boss Platt had forced the nomination of Attorney GeneralJohn C. Daviesto theNew York Supreme Courtin the 5th District, against the local Republican organization's wishes who accused Davies of incompetence. Davies was defeated in a landslide by Democrat Watson M. Rogers although the 5th District was heavily Republican. Thus boss Platt's power began to wane.

The Democratic caucus met also on January 19. All 62 State legislators attended, and Assemblyman Charles W. Hinson, ofErie County,presided. They nominatedJohn B. Stanchfieldunanimously. Stanchfield had been Mayor ofElmira,and was defeated when running forGovernor of New Yorkin1900by RepublicanBenjamin B. Odell Jr.

Thomas C. Platt was the choice of both the Assembly and the State Senate, and was declared elected. Three Republican anti-Platt men, State senators Edgar T. Brackett (28th D.),Elon R. Brownand Nathaniel A. Elsberg (15th D.), voted for Elihu Root.
