San Diego Community College District voters appeared to approve $3.5 billion of bonds.

Voters were asked to consider at least $142.634 billion of bonds this year in 844 transactions, according to data compiled by Bond Buyer.

California leads the pack with more than half of the total under consideration — $69.858 billion in 262 deals. The state also boasts six of the largest bond referenda under consideration, led by two $10 billion referendums from the state and $9 billion from the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Texas comes in second with $37.582 billion across 227 bond referendums, followed by Colorado with $8.346 billion in 34 referendums.

Of the 34 states putting bond referendums up for consideration, New York is last with only one deal for $28.3 million from the Haldane Central School District, with the proceeds set to be used to fund a capital project improving safety and infrastructure throughout the district’s Cold Spring campus.

Charleston County, South Carolina, voters rejected a sales tax to fund transportation to raise $5.4 billion. Houton Independent School District voters turned down a $4.4 billion bond proposal.
