Incumbent Democrat Patsy Mink died on September 28, 2002 due to viral pneumonia as a result of complications from chickenpox. By the time of her death, it had been too late to remove her from the general election ballot. Thus, on November 5, Mink was post-humously re-elected.

A special election was held on November 30, 2002 to fill out the remainder of her term, with Democrat Ed Case winning the election.

Another election, this time to for the 108th Congress was held on January 4, 2003 with incumbent Ed Case running for re-election, along with 3 dozen other candidates including Democratic state Senators Matt Matsunaga and Colleen Hanabusa, Republican state Representatives Barbara Marumoto and Bob McDermott, John Carroll, and former Mayor of Honolulu Frank Fasi.

Incumbent Ed Case won re-election with 44% of the vote.
