A primary election on June 12, 2018 determined which candidates appear on the November 6 general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained from the Maine Secretary of State's website.

Following the 2016 state house elections, Democrats maintained effective control of the House with 77 members and 2 coalition Green representatives. Republicans held 72 seats following the 2016 elections. Following several vacancies and replacements between 2016 and 2018, on election day 2018, the Democrats had increased their majority to 74 Democrats, 1 Green, and 6 Independent representatives, while the Republicans had decreased from 72 to 70 seats.

The Maine Secretary of State provides both a detailed description of each house seat as well as maps for each district, including this statewide House map showing all 151 House districts.

The Democrats gained sixteen seats in the election, and the Republicans lost thirteen. The sole Green member — Ralph Chapman — was replaced by a Democrat, and the number of independents was reduced from six to five, with only two independent incumbents — Kent Ackley and Norman Higgins — being re-elected.
