Election Integrity Policy

Election integrity policy is typically created and enforced by government entities at various levels, including federal, state, and local authorities. The specific responsibilities and processes can vary depending on the country and its political system. I'll provide a general overview based on the United States.

1. Federal Level: The federal government has a limited role in election administration in the United States. However, it does play a part in setting specific standards and regulations through laws passed by the U.S. Congress. For example, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002 established requirements for voting systems, voter registration, and election administration.

2. State Level: Individual states primarily formulate and implement election integrity policies and regulations. Each state has

laws, procedures, and agencies responsible for managing elections. State legislatures play a crucial role in enacting election laws, such as determining voter eligibility, establishing rules for voter registration, early voting, and absentee voting, and establishing the requirements for election security.

1. Local Level: Election administration is carried out locally by county or municipal election officials. They are responsible for implementing the election laws and regulations set by the state. Local election officials handle tasks such as voter registration, polling place management, ballot counting, and reporting election results.

It's worth noting that election integrity policies and practices can also involve independent bodies like election commissions, boards of elections, or specific agencies responsible for overseeing elections at different levels of government. These bodies often collaborate with law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders to ensure the integrity and security of the electoral process.
