Which power is not typically associated with administrative agencies?

Administrative agencies typically possess a variety of powers that allow them to carry out their functions effectively, including rulemaking and adjudication. Rulemaking refers to the authority of agencies to create, modify, or revoke regulations that have the force of law, thereby providing clarity and guidance within their area of jurisdiction. Adjudication involves the ability of agencies to resolve disputes, often through hearings and the issuance of decisions based on law and its interpretation.

In contrast, election administration does not fall within the traditional scope of powers associated with administrative agencies. While agencies may be involved in the implementation of election laws or the processing of related regulations, the primary responsibility for conducting elections typically resides with state and local election officials rather than an administrative body created to enforce specific regulatory statutes. Thus, while some elements of election administration may involve regulatory oversight, the act of administering elections is not a power typically attributed to administrative agencies.
