Plymouth residents have indoor and outdoor options for completing absentee ballots – by mail, drop-and-go, curbside or in-person at Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Blvd.

Ballot Drop-And-Go, COVID-19 Accommodations

City election staff is keeping health at the forefront of the 2020 general election process. In addition to sending through the U.S. Postal Service, Plymouth offers new options for early voting (absentee). The following options are available 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday at Plymouth City Hall.

Drop-and-Go: Plymouth residents can apply to receive an absentee ballot by mail and drop off the completed ballot at Plymouth City Hall

For an absentee ballot to count, elections staff must physically have it in hand by 3 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3, or it must be postmarked on or before Election Day.

Voters may track the status of their ballot and confirm that it was received and counted, as well as view a list of candidates on the ballot, districts in their precinct and more at mnvotes.org.
