Maine Bill to Expand State Senate Terms from Two to Four Years

Maine State Senator Amy Volk (R-Scarborough) has introduced LD 1012, to ask voters if they wish to change the Constitution to provide for 4-year terms for State Senators, instead of 2-year terms. The bill was introduced a month ago and has not yet made any headway.

Most states already have 4-year State Senate terms. The twelve states that still have 2-year State Senate terms are Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Vermont.
