Although Maine neither gained nor lost seats after the 1820 United States Census , redistricting placed two incumbents into the 3rd district . Maine elected its members April 7, 1823, after the term began but before the new Congress convened. Maine law required a majority for election, with additional ballots taken if a majority were not achieved. This proved necessary in 1823 in the 1st , 3rd , 4th , and 6th districts, but all members were still chosen before the new Congress convened.
