1st Street & Henderson Street

Early voting for the Nov. 3 election began Tuesday at Monroe County’s North Showers building. About a half-dozen voters waited outside in 42-degree air before the 8 a.m. opening. Clerk Nicole Browne gave the legally required proclamation that the polls were open.

Bloomington is seeking architects to design a new police headquarters at 714 S. Rogers St., with proposals due Nov. 6. The city wants to reuse as much of the 56,000-square-foot former convalescent center as possible while keeping construction costs at or below $30 million.

Sign posted on the entrance to city hall says “No Election Campaign Materials Permitted on City Hall Grounds.” Another sign points to the other end of the Showers building complex, where early voting starts tomorrow.
