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 Senate elections, Republicans maintained effective control of the House with 18 members.

The Maine Secretary of State provides both a detailed description of each Senate seat as well as maps for each district, including this statewide Senate map showing all 35 Senate districts.

After the 2018 elections, Republicans lost control of the chamber. The Democrats needed to net one Senate seat. In the election, the Democrats gained four seats, claiming the majority.
