        The Federal Election Campaign Act authorizes the Commission to administer federal campaign finance laws, which regulate all candidates for federal office.  However, the Act does not empower the FEC to regulate matters related to ballot access, voting machines and other voting issues, the Electoral College and issues relating to House and Senate ethics and the IRS.  As such, the Commission is not the agency that would handle matters related to these issues.
