2022 Elections
Choose a chamber below:

Elections for the Maine State Senate took place in 2022. The general election was on November 8, 2022. A primary was scheduled for June 14, 2022. The filing deadline was March 15, 2022.

The Maine State Senate was one of 88 state legislative chambers with elections in 2022. There are 99 chambers throughout the country. At the time of the 2022 elections, Republicans held a majority in more chambers than Democrats. There was a Republican majority in 62 chambers and a Democratic majority in 36 chambers. In the Alaska House, there was a power-sharing agreement between the parties as part of a coalition.

Heading into the election, Ballotpedia identified 20 battleground races in the Maine State Senate 2022 elections, fourteen of which were Democratic-held districts while the other six were Republican-held districts. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.

All 35 seats were up for election in 2022. As of the 2022 election, the Democratic Party controlled 22 seats and the Republican Party controlled 13 seats.

At the time of the 2022 election, Maine had had a Democratic trifecta since 2018. If the Republican Party flipped five or more seats, then the Democratic Party would have lost its trifecta. If the Democratic Party lost no more than four seats, and maintained control of the state house and the governorship they would have kept their trifecta. This was one of 28 state legislative chambers Ballotpedia identified as a battleground chamber in 2022. Click here for more on why this chamber was identified as a battleground.

2022 battleground chamber
See also: State legislative battleground chambers, 2022

The Maine State Senate was among 28 state legislative chambers Ballotpedia identified as battleground chambers for the 2022 cycle.

What was at stake?

  • The Republican Party needed to gain five or more seats to take control of the chamber. The Democratic Party needed to lose four or fewer seats to maintain control.
  • The Republican Party flipping the state Senate would have broken the Democratic Party's trifecta. The Democratic Party would have needed to keep the state Senate, state House, and the governorship to maintain their trifecta.

Why was it a battleground?

  • Seats needed to flip: The Republican Party needed to flip five seats (14% of seats up) in order to win control of the chamber.
  • History of recent flips: Control of the Maine State Senate flipped three times between 2012 and 2022. Democrats gained a majority in 2012, followed by Republicans in 2014 and Democrats again in 2018.
  • 2020 battleground chamber: The Maine State Senate was a battleground chamber in 2020. That year, the Republican Party lost one seat and the Democratic Party maintained control of the chamber. Read more about the 2020 elections here.
  • Other 2022 battleground elections: The 2022 election for governor was also a battleground race.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in in 2022. Information below was calculated on , and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Seventy-one state legislative districts up for election this year in Maine were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That equals 38% of the 186 districts in the Maine State Legislature.

Since no incumbents were present, newcomers to the legislature were guaranteed to win open districts. This was the most guaranteed newcomers to the Maine State Legislature since 2014.

Maine is one of 15 states that use term limits for state legislators. In both the Senate and House, legislators can serve four two-year terms for a total of eight years. In 2022, 46 legislators were term-limited: 10 in the Senate and 36 in the House. The remaining 25 open districts were caused by legislators leaving office for some other reason.

Overall, 384 major party candidates filed: 183 Democrats and 201 Republicans. That equals 2.1 candidates per district, the same as in 2020 and 2018.

In 2022, there were 33 contested primaries—12 Democratic primaries and 21 for Republicans. For Democrats, this was down from 25 in 2020, a 52% decrease. For Republicans, the number increased 133% from nine in 2020 to 21 in 2022.

Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Maine State Senate from 2010 to 2022.[2] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.

Open Seats in Maine State Senate elections: 2010 - 2022
Year Total seats Open seats Seats with incumbents running for re-election
2022 35 14 (40%) 21 (60%)
2020 35 7 (20%) 28 (80%)
2018 35 12 (34%) 23 (66%)
2016 35 7 (20%) 28 (80%)
2014 35 8 (23%) 27 (77%)
2012 35 13 (37%) 22 (63%)
2010 35 10 (29%) 25 (71%)

Incumbents running in new districts

When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election.

In 2022, eight incumbents filed to run for re-election in new districts different from those they represented before the election. Click [show] on the table below to view those incumbents.

Maine uses ranked-choice voting for all federal and state-level (e.g., governor, state senator, and state representative) primary elections. Ranked-choice voting is used in general elections for federal offices only (i.e., U.S. Congress and the presidency).[12]

How ranked-choice voting works

Broadly speaking, the ranked-choice voting process unfolds as follows for single-winner elections:

  1. Voters rank the candidates for a given office by preference on their ballots.
  2. If a candidate wins an outright majority of first-preference votes (i.e., 50 percent plus one), he or she will be declared the winner.
  3. If, on the other hand, no candidates win an outright majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated.
  4. All first-preference votes for the failed candidate are eliminated, lifting the second-preference choices indicated on those ballots.
  5. A new tally is conducted to determine whether any candidate has won an outright majority of the adjusted voters.
  6. The process is repeated until a candidate wins a majority of votes cast.

Example

Assume that there are four candidates for mayor in a hypothetical city. The table below presents the raw first-preference vote totals for each candidate.

Raw first-preference vote tallies in a hypothetical mayoral race
Candidate First-preference votes Percentage
Candidate A 475 46.34%
Candidate B 300 29.27%
Candidate C 175 17.07%
Candidate D 75 7.32%

In the above scenario, no candidate won an outright majority of first-preference votes. As a result, the candidate (Candidate D) with the smallest number of first-preference votes is eliminated. The ballots that listed candidate D as the first preference are adjusted, raising their second-preference candidates. Assume that, of the 75 first-preference votes for Candidate D, 50 listed Candidate A as their second preference and 25 listed Candidate B. The adjusted vote totals would be as follows:

Adjusted vote tallies in a hypothetical mayoral race
Candidate Adjusted first-preference votes Percentage
Candidate A 525 51.22%
Candidate B 325 31.71%
Candidate C 175 17.07%

On the second tally, Candidate A secured 51.22 percent of the vote, thereby winning the election.

Note: The above is a simplified example used for illustrative purposes. Specific procedures vary by jurisdiction and according to the nature of the election (i.e., whether it is a single-winner or multi-winner contest).

Redistricting following the 2020 census

On September 29, 2021, Gov. Janet Mills (D) signed legislation enacting redrawn state legislative district boundaries. The Maine Apportionment Commission approved final maps and submitted them to the legislature on September 27, 2021. The Maine Senate unanimously approved both maps by a vote of 31-0. The Maine House of Representatives approved new district boundaries for the state Senate by a vote of 129-0 and new state House district boundaries by a vote of 119-10.[13] These maps took effect for Maine’s 2022 legislative elections.

Below is the state Senate map in effect before and after the 2020 redistricting cycle.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
  2. ↑ 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.
