Correct answer: At the state level, a secretary of state oversees the election process.
Explanation: State secretaries of state usually run statewide elections, maintain voter rolls, certify results, and handle business registrations and public records. They are not generally the state’s chief lawyer (that’s the attorney general), they don’t routinely resolve private company disputes (that’s handled by courts or regulatory agencies), and while they may deal with federal agencies on specific issues, interacting with the federal government is not their primary role.
