CHICAGO—Election ballots around the United States on Nov. 5 will be packed with referendums for billions of dollars of state, local government, and school bonds, as well as measures seeking to curb taxation, expand health care for the poor and increase school funding.

There are 673 bond issues on ballots in 38 states totaling nearly $76.3 billion, the biggest amount for a November general election since 2006, according to near-final data from Ipreo by IHS Markit.
