Augusta, Maine - The Maine Secretary of State's Office has scheduled the recounts for Questions 1 and 2.
The recount for Question 2, which creates a 3 percent income tax on people earning more than $200,000 to fund public education, begins Thursday morning.
Voters approved the measure by fewer than 10,000 votes.
The recount for Question 1, which legalizes and regulates recreational marijuana in Maine, will begin Tuesday morning.
Voters approved Question 1 by a little more than 4,000 votes.
The recounts will take 4 to 6 weeks, according to the secretary of state.
State law requires state police to collect the ballots for the recount and keep them in a secure state police facility until the recount has been completed.
The ballots are stored in tamperproof metal containers and are closed with specially numbered security seals and locks.
