In-Person Voting

Voting on Election Day: Plymouth residents who wish to vote in-person on Election Day must vote at their polling location 7 a.m to 8 p.m. View polling locations.

Due to COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines, voters should expect to see lines at polling locations and may experience longer time to complete the process. Voters should be dressed for the weather, as capacity inside polling places will be limited due to social distancing.

Voters are required to wear masks when voting in-person.

Drop Off Absentee Ballots Received in the Mail
Voters may drop off absentee ballots received in the mail at Plymouth City Hall (Plymouth residents only).

For your ballot to count, we must physically have it in hand by 3 p.m. on Election Day – or it must be postmarked by Election Day and arrive at Hennepin County Elections within two days of Election Day. If you’re concerned that your ballot won’t be received in time, you may “drop and go” your ballot (yourself or someone on your behalf) at Plymouth City Hall.

Available hours to drop off absentee ballots or vote in-person are:

  • 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, Aug. 4-7
