• Source: United States presidential elections in Maine

Following is a table of United States presidential elections in Maine, ordered by year. Since its admission to statehood in 1820, Maine has participated in every U.S. presidential election. Prior to 1820, much of the territory currently comprising the state of Maine was part of the state of Massachusetts, and citizens residing in that area have thus been able to participate in every U.S. election.
Since 1972, Maine awards two electoral votes based on the statewide vote, and one vote for each of the two congressional districts. However, it is rare that this results in a split vote. It has done so three times, in 2016, 2020, and 2024. The only other state to allow for split electoral college votes is Nebraska.
Winners of the state are in bold. The shading refers to the state winner, and not the national winner.




Elections from 1864 to present






Election of 1860


The election of 1860 was a complex realigning election in which the breakdown of the previous two-party alignment culminated in four parties each competing for influence in different parts of the country. The result of the election, with the victory of an opponent of slavery, was considered a threat by southern states seeking to use the federal government to enforce their pro-slavery laws in northern states among other factors. Soon after this election, eleven states seceded and the American Civil War began.




Elections from 1828 to 1856






Election of 1824


The election of 1824 was a complex realigning election following the collapse of the prevailing Democratic-Republican Party, resulting in four different candidates each claiming to carry the banner of the party, and competing for influence in different parts of the country. The election was the only one in history to be decided by the House of Representatives under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution after no candidate secured a majority of the electoral vote. It was also the only presidential election in which the candidate who received a plurality of electoral votes (Andrew Jackson) did not become president, a source of great bitterness for Jackson and his supporters, who proclaimed the election of Adams a corrupt bargain.




Election of 1820


In the election of 1820, incumbent President James Monroe ran effectively unopposed, winning all electoral votes (including Maine’s nine electoral votes) except one vote in New Hampshire. The popular vote was primarily directed to filling the office of vice president.
