Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in west Bloomington.

The polling place for some Bloomington voters has been relocated for the March 19 primary election.

Residents of West Bloomington's 7th and 12th precincts will now report to Grossinger Motors Arena, 101 S. Madison St. The Bloomington Election Commission determined its location at Mount Pisgah Baptist Church could not serve as a polling place after it and other locations were vandalized on March 10.

Residents in precincts 5 and 59 will also vote at Grossinger Arena on election day.

One person was arrested in connection with the vandalism.
