Ignorant question for Americans

mrdankelly's journal but now available to a wider audience! Because I don't know, and I'm curious.
Do you have any equivalent of Elections Canada down there?
I ask because the notion of an individual electoral district designing its own ballot still, after 3 and a bit years, blows my mind. I found the Federal Elections Commission, but that seems to the casual eye to deal specifically with finance, not with running elections in general. (Also, their web designer should be shot. But that's another matter.)
Are all federal elections run at the local level? Or how does it work?
