Three ballot measures adopted by Alaska voters this month were certified Wednesday afternoon by Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, the Alaska Division of Elections announced in a short press release.

"The election is a wrap," elections director Gail Fenumiai said after the announcement.

The certification begins the 90-day countdown to the enactment of three ballot measures passed by Alaska voters on Nov. 4: Ballot Measure 2, which legalizes recreational marijuana; Ballot Measure 3, with increases Alaska's minimum wage; and Ballot Measure 4, which enables the Legislature to prohibit some large-scale mining projects in the Bristol Bay watershed.

The ballot measures go into effect Feb. 24.
