Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Maine in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 5, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
There were 186 state legislative seats up for election in Maine in 2024. Across those, 38 incumbents (22 Democrats and 16 Republicans) did not run for re-election. That was less than the average number of retirements in Maine from rom 2010-2022 (55.1) and was is the fewest number of retiring incumbents since 2016, when 38 incumbents retired (24 Democrats, 10 Republicans, and four Independents). In 2022, 75 incumbents did not run for re-election (39 Democrats, 35 Republicans, and one independent).
Seven incumbents out of the 146 running were primary challengers. That was the same number of incumbents facing challengers as in 2020 and more than all other cycles since 2010. The next closest year was 2012 when five incumbents faced primary challengers.
There were 19 total contested primaries (with more than one candidate) - nine Democratic and 10 Republican. That was less than the average number of contested primaries from 2010-2022 (30.5) and the lowest total during that span. The year with the second-fewest number of contested primaries was 2014, which had 26 (13 Democratic and 13 Republican). The year with the highest number of contested primaries during that span was 2012 with 39 (23 Democratic and 13 Republican).
Maine had a Democratic trifecta, meaning the Democratic Party controlled the governorship and both chambers of the state legislature. As of June 5, 2024, there were 23 Republican trifectas, 17 Democratic trifectas, and 10 divided governments where neither party held trifecta control.

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
