City of Plymouth encourages residents to vote early by mail
Plymouth, Minn. – The City of Plymouth encourages residents to vote early by mail (absentee) to help
minimize direct contact with others during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Elections this year include the Aug. 11 State Primary and the Nov. 3 General Election. Voting by mail is
simple, as long as residents plan ahead a bit.
Apply Early to Receive the Ballot
To vote by mail for one or both of the 2020 elections, residents must apply to have an absentee ballot
mailed to them. City of Plymouth staff recommend applying for a ballot at least 10 days before Election
Day to allow enough time to receive the ballot and mail it back or drop it off.
Ballots will be mailed to applicants as early as 46 days prior to each election with a postage-paid
envelope for return.
Residents may apply for an absentee ballot online, or by mail, email or facsimile. For an application and
more information, visit plymouthmn.gov/election and click the “Early Voting Options” button.
Submit the Ballot by 3 p.m. on Election Day
For a ballot to count, elections staff must physically have it in hand by 3 p.m. on Election Day. Ballots
received after Election Day will not count, even if they were postmarked on or before Election Day.
Residents who are concerned that their ballot won’t arrive via mail by 3 p.m. on Election Day may
instead bring the ballot to Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard, for ballot “drop and go.”
Voters may visit the Minnesota Secretary of State website, sos.state.mn.us, to 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.
For more information and other voting options, visit plymouthmn.gov/election.

City seeks public input about the future of Plymouth City Center
Plymouth, Minn. – The City of Plymouth seeks feedback from the public to help shape the future of
Plymouth’s central corridor – Plymouth City Center.
The project, known as City Center 2.0, is part of a 2019 Plymouth City Council goal to explore options for
continued development and redevelopment of the area.
City Center Feedback
The city is seeking feedback regarding the types of activities and businesses that attract people to City
Center, likes and dislikes about the area, suggestions for improvement, and input about potential
barriers to growth.
Available feedback platforms include surveys and an interactive feedback map. The map allows
participants to drop "pins" on specific locations, like or dislike comments from other participants, and
provide input about walkability, biking, driving/parking issues, transit opportunities, places for gathering
and socializing, and more.
To provide feedback about the area, visit plymouthmn.gov/citycenter.
About City Center 2.0
First introduced in 1996, City Center was designed to bring people together in a central location in
Plymouth with a blend of cultural, recreational, civic and entertainment uses that encourage community
interaction. The area is roughly defined as the geographic center of Plymouth, located one mile west of
Interstate 494 on Highway 55.
City Center includes a commercial area surrounded by a natural environment and wetlands with a mix of
office, medical, retail, restaurant and government uses.
Goals of City Center 2.0 include developing a renewed vision for City Center by exploring options for
continued development and redevelopment, while carefully considering land use to ensure a well-
planned community with a varied tax base. The project will examine place-making efforts, beautification
and safety, and pursue public-private partnerships to bring additional community activities and uses to
the area.
For more information or to sign up for eNotify email updates about the project, visit
plymouthmn.gov/citycenter.
