Conduct Elections :)
No, the power to conduct elections would be an example of a reserved power. The ability to take private property for the purpose of public use is an example of a concurrent power.
Yes it is a reserved power
1. In elections you vote for a candidate or party, wheras in referenda you vote on a issue. 2. Elections are multi issue (eg party manifesto's) and referenda are single issue. 3. Elections are mandatory, referenda can be advisory or mandatory. 4. Elections are about electing people to hold positions of power, referenda are about influencing those already in power.
An example of shared power in our government is our elections. Each state holds elections for federal positions like congress. Taxes is an another example since our state and federal taxes can sometimes fund the same project.
The power to conduct elections was left to the states. Each state oversees the federal elections within its borders.

The States Individually
In the United States, it's the Elections Division of the county, under the direction of the State Board of Elections.
The power to conduct elections is by the state governments. There aren't any federal elections, the Presidential election are multiple statewide elections held on the same day.
yes
No, the control and monitoring of elections lies within the powers of the state, not the federal government. However, it does hold the power to either supplement current state legislation or to impose penalties of its own, independent of the state.
A place for people to vote can be called a polling station, therefore, polls are part of elections. I wouldn't say that they actually conduct elections, however. People do that, not polling stations.
the ballot
The basic unit for the conduct of elections is the ballot. This is the most important because itâ??s the basic need in conducting an election.
Each state has the power to regulate activities within its own borders, create laws that apply to its residents, and manage its own government and resources.
