WASHINGTON—Cities across the United States have seen buildings boarded up as voters prepare to cast their ballots in a highly contentious election.

On the weekend before the Nov. 5 election, buildings near the White House could be seen with wooden boards placed over their exteriors—including on a McDonald’s, Peet’s Coffee, and U.S. Post Office location.
