Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Implementation tools are the techniques used to increase the probability that agents or targets will take action consistent with the preferred results of policy and serve to motivate implementing agencies and target populations to act according to policy objectives. In 1975, Congress created the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to administer and enforce the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). In 2002, the Help America Vote Act created the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), to assist in the administration of Federal elections and establish minimum election administration standards for States and units of local government responsible for the administration of Federal elections. This paper will look at the implementation tools available to the EAC the FEC�two federal election administration bodies. It will trace the evolution of these agencies; the implementation tools they have at their disposal and how they came about; the relationship between the tools and the agency structure and target population; and the overall effectiveness of the tools for the achievement of the agency�s statutory goals.
