In 2011, four special elections were held for the Maine State Legislature. These elections were called to fill vacancies in the Maine State Senate, District 7, and the Maine House of Representatives, Districts 11, 24, and 121.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Maine State Legislature, a special election must be held to fill the vacant seat.[1][2] The governor must call for an election and inform political committees of the nomination deadline.[3][1][2] The person elected to the seat serves for the remainder of the unexpired term.[4]
