Redistricting

2020-2021

See also: Redistricting in Maine after the 2020 census

On September 29, 2021, Gov. Janet Mills (D) signed legislation enacting redrawn congressional district boundaries as a result of the 2020 census. The Maine Apportionment Commission approved a final congressional district plan and submitted it to the legislature on September 24, 2021. The Maine State Senate and House of Representatives unanimously approved the state’s new congressional map on September 29, 2021. This map took effect for Maine’s 2022 congressional elections.

According to the Bangor Daily News, “The only changes to the state’s congressional maps will take place in Kennebec County, where about 54,000 Mainers will switch districts. Augusta, the capital city, will move from the 1st to the 2nd District, along with Chelsea, Farmingdale, Hallowell, Manchester, Readfield and Winthrop. Meanwhile, Albion, Benton, Clinton, Litchfield, Unity township and West Gardiner will move from the 2nd District to the 1st.”

How does redistricting in Maine work? In Maine, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature. An advisory commission is also involved in the process. A two-thirds majority is required to approve new district maps, which are subject to veto by the governor.

The composition of the 15-member advisory redistricting commission is as follows:

1. The majority and minority leaders of the Maine State Senate each select two commissioners.
2. The majority and minority leaders of the Maine House of Representatives each appoint three commissioners.
3. The chairs of the state's two major political parties (i.e., the Republican and Democratic parties) each appoint one member.
4. The aforementioned 12 commissioners appoint two more members from the public, "with each party's representatives coordinating to choose one commissioner."
5. The two public commissioners appoint one additional member.

This commission may make recommendations to the state legislature regarding redistricting, but the legislature is not bound to abide by the commission's recommendations. If the state legislature is unable to pass a redistricting plan, the responsibility falls to the Maine Supreme Court.

State statutes require that congressional districts be compact and contiguous, In addition, state laws require that congressional districts "cross political subdivision lines as few times as possible."

The Maine Constitution mandates that state legislative districts be "compact and contiguous, and that they cross political subdivision lines as few times as possible."
