Elections were held on November 2, 2010, to determine Maine's two members of the United States House of Representatives. Representatives were elected for two-year terms to serve in the 112th Congress from January 3, 2011, until January 3, 2013. Primary elections were held on June 8, 2010.[1]
The races in both the 1st and 2nd districts were rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report[2] and The Rothenberg Political Report,[3] while only the 1st district was rated as competitive by CQ Politics.[4] Both of Maine's incumbents (Chellie Pingree of the 1st district and Mike Michaud of the 2nd district, both Democrats) were re-elected.[5]
A total of 564,368 votes were cast, of which 316,156 (56.02 percent) were for Democratic candidates, 248,170 (43.97 percent) were for Republican candidates, and 42 (0.01 percent) were for write-in candidates.[6]
