AUGUSTA — Secretary of State Charles Summers has approved the final wording of two questions on November’s ballot regarding expanded gambling in Maine.

Summers announced today that one of the questions will ask voters if they want to allow a “casino with table games and slot machines in Lewiston, with part of the profits going to support specific state and local programs.”

The other question asks voters if they favor allowing a slot machine facility at a harness racing track in Biddeford or another community within 25 miles of Scarborough Downs, subject to local approval. They’ll also be asked if they approve of a harness racing track in Washington County, with part of the profits from these facilities going to support specific state and local programs.
