The secretary of state of Maine is a constitutional officer in the U.S. state of Maine and serves as the head of the Maine Department of State. The Secretary of State performs duties of both a legislative branch as well as an executive branch officer. The role oversees areas that include motor vehicle licensing, state identification, record keeping, and corporate chartering.[2]

The secretary of state is elected biannually by ballot of members of both houses of the Maine Legislature assembled together,[2] identical in procedure to its neighbor, New Hampshire.[3] The position is elected at the start of the first session of the Maine Legislature, which also sits for a two-year term, concurrent with the other constitutional officers of Maine.[2]

The incumbent secretary of state is Shenna Bellows, who took office on January 4, 2021.[4][5]
