Resolution, Proposing An Amendment To The Constitution Of Maine To Improve Representation And Simplify Legislative Redistricting

LD 944 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Maine's House of Representatives to consist of an odd number of members (between 151 and 155). If approved by voters, this change would prevent tie votes in the legislature by ensuring the total number of representatives is always odd. The amendment also includes redistricting rules to create compact, contiguous districts with as equal population as possible, while minimizing splits of municipal boundaries. Voters would decide on this amendment in a statewide referendum during the November 2025 election.
