Term limits[edit]
- See also: State legislatures with term limits
The Maine House of Representatives has been a term-limited state house since Maine voters approved Question 1 in 1993. Under this law, state representatives can serve no more than four consecutive 2-year terms. The Maine State Legislature tried, unsuccessfully, in 2007 to get the state's voters to extend the number of years they could consecutively serve in office by putting the Maine Term Limits Extension act on the ballot. Voters overwhelmingly (67-33%) rejected it.
There are 153 state representatives in Maine. 21 of them, or 13%, termed out in 2010.
In addition to the 21 Maine state representatives who left office because of term limits, 4 Maine state senators also termed-out.
Maine state representatives whose seats were up for election in 2010 but who were unable to run because of the state's term limits are:
Democrats (10):
Republicans (10):
Independents (1):
