A recount has confirmed that Arizona’s Proposition 112 failed by the slimmest margin in state history.

General election results made official Monday set up the first recount of a statewide ballot proposition that officials can recall.

Arizona elections officials are going to court Monday for authorization to conduct a statewide recount of ballots cast on a proposition to change the initiative process.

Maricopa County will count outstanding provisional ballots through the weekend if necessary despite a state law that generally says all vote tallying must be completed by Friday, officials said.

The fate of three close statewide propositions may not be known until next week as Maricopa County elections officials need more time to process early and provisional ballots.

Arizona’s medical marijuana proposition is still losing by more than 3,300 votes, a gap that has stayed relatively steady over the last 24 hours. But it’s still too close to call Proposition 203, as 78,000 early and provisional ballots remain to be counted.

Opponents of a measure to legalize medical marijuana in Arizona saw their advantage grow slightly Saturday as election officials continue to count ballots.

Early ballots will be the first tallied on election night. And if history is a guide, they will also be among the last.

Arizonans who want to vote in the Nov. 2 election by early ballot face a Friday deadline for requesting a ballot.

The deadline for Arizonans to register to vote in the Nov. 2 general election is midnight on Monday.
