State Summary
State Summary
In Maine, primary responsibility for congressional and state legislative districts falls on the state legislature, which may pass a plan with a 2/3 supermajority of each legislative chamber. The process is aided by a 15-member advisory commission; the members of the commission can be seen here. If the legislature does not pass a plan, responsibility falls to the state Supreme Court.
On Sept. 29, 2021 the state legislature adopted final maps for Congress (LD 1739), state House (LD 1738), and state Senate (LD 1741) districts. Gov. Mills signed all three bills into law that same day.
In the 2020 cycle, the legislature passed state legislative (LD 1738 and 1741) and congressional (LD 1739) plans on Sept. 29, 2021, which were all signed by the Governor on the same day.
In the 2010 cycle, the legislature passed a congressional plan (LD 1590) on Sept. 27, 2011, which was signed by Governor Mills on Sept. 28, 2011. It passed a state legislative plan (LD 1557) on June 5, 2013, which was signed by the Governor on June 14, 2013.
