The Maine Senate is the upper house of the Maine Legislature. The Senate consists of 35 members representing an equal number of districts across the state. Unlike the Maine House of Representatives, the Senate does not set aside non-voting seats for Native tribes.

The Senate meets at the Maine State House in Augusta.

Maine's senators are elected to four-year terms. They are subject to term limits of no more than two consecutive four-year terms.[1]
