Maine Revised Statutes

1.    The affairs of every domestic insurer shall be managed by a board of directors consisting of not less than 7 directors or more than 21 directors.

2.    Directors, other than initial directors named in the insurer's certificate of organization, shall be elected by the members or stockholders of a domestic insurer at the annual meeting of stockholders or members. Directors may be elected for terms of not more than 3 years each and until their successors are elected and have qualified; and if to be elected for terms of more than one year the insurer's bylaws may provide for a staggered term system under which the terms of a proportionate part of the members of the board of directors shall expire on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders or members. A directorship becoming vacant before expiration of the term may be filled by the board of directors for the remainder of the term.
