How does redistricting in Maine work? In Maine, both congressional and state legislative commune boundaries are drawn past the state legislature. An advisory commission is also involved in the process. A two-thirds bulk is required to approve new district maps, which are subject to veto past the governor.[11]

The composition of the xv-member informational redistricting commission is as follows:[11]

  1. The majority and minority leaders of the Maine State Senate each select two commissioners.
  2. The bulk and minority leaders of the Maine House of Representatives each appoint iii commissioners.
  3. The chairs of the state's two major political parties (i.e., the Republican and Democratic parties) each appoint one member.
  4. The aforementioned 12 commissioners appoint 2 more than members from the public, "with each political party'southward representatives coordinating to choose one commissioner."
  5. The two public commissioners appoint i additional member.

This committee may make recommendations to the state legislature regarding redistricting, but the legislature is not bound to bide past the commission's recommendations. If the country legislature is unable to pass a redistricting plan, the responsibility falls to the Maine Supreme Courtroom.[11]

Country statutes require that congressional districts exist compact and contiguous, In addition, land laws require that congressional districts "cross political subdivision lines equally few times as possible."[eleven]

The Maine Constitution mandates that state legislative districts be "compact and face-to-face, and that they cross political subdivision lines equally few times as possible."[11]
