U.S. voters will decide on an estimated $45 billion of bond sales this election as municipalities across the country seek funding for projects ranging from hospital improvements to school infrastructure.
More than half of the 10 largest ballot measures would fund school improvements, and if approved, some of that money would help districts grappling with educating students during a pandemic, including enhanced internet access and resources to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Other deals would pay for water and sewer projects, libraries and other infrastructure.
