Maine Senate
[1] Unlike the lower House, the Senate does not set aside nonvoting seats for Native tribes.Because it is a part-time position, members of the Maine Senate usually have outside employment as well.The Senate meets at the Maine State House in Augusta.Instead, the Senate chooses its own president, who is also the first in the line of gubernatorial succession.The previous district lines, which were drawn in 2013 and were first used in the 2014 primary and general elections, were only in effect for 8 years rather than the usual 10 as Maine adjusted its legislative redistricting cycle to conform with most other states.
