PLYMOUTH, Mich. — Plymouth residents who missed Monday’s cutoff for signing up online or by mail can still get on the rolls for the Nov. 3 general election, but only by walking into City Hall.
As of Tuesday, an unregistered voter in the city must appear in person at the clerk’s counter, 201 S. Main St., carrying paperwork that shows a current home address. Michigan law switches every community to this counter-only method in the final two weeks before an election, Election Day included.
A driver’s license or state ID card qualifies. So do a paycheck, a bank statement, a recent utility bill or any government-issued document listing name and address. The paperwork may be shown on a phone screen.
There is a residency clock as well. To vote in Plymouth, a person has to have been living in the city for 30 days or more when Nov. 3 arrives, under state rules. People already registered at their present address are set, and a same-day sign-up remains possible until 8 p.m. on Nov. 3.
The city, home to roughly 9,400 people packed into 2.2 square miles, will open early voting on Saturday, Oct. 24. Doors of the Plymouth Cultural Center, 525 Farmer St., will be open for ballots each day through Nov. 1, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Absentee ballot requests must reach election officials by 5 p.m. on Oct. 30. Residents with questions can call the clerk’s office at 734-453-1234.
