Federal laws
States are responsible for addressing any issues not covered by Federal Law, as long as state laws conform to the US Constitution. For example, they must establish local governments, regulate intrastate commerce, conduct elections, and establish a state Constitution. There are also responsibilities shared by the state and federal government. These include: making and enforcing laws, collecting taxes, and building and maintaining roads and highways.
The detailed provisions of federal election laws are meant to assure a fair and accurate election.
federal level
In the United States, most election laws are made at the state level. This is because the U.S. Constitution grants states the authority to regulate the administration of elections within their borders, allowing them to set rules regarding voter registration, polling places, and ballot design. Additionally, state governments can tailor their election laws to meet the specific needs and preferences of their populations, leading to significant variations across the country. Federal laws, such as the Voting Rights Act, set certain standards but largely defer to state control over election administration.
