Question

overseeing voter registration
collecting state debts
negotiations with other countries
distributing business loans
enforcing laws related to electricity

Explanation:

The secretary of state in a state is often responsible for overseeing elections - related matters. Voter registration is a key part of the electoral process. Collecting state debts is more of a finance - related role (not typically the secretary of state), negotiations with other countries are usually a federal (national) government responsibility (not state - level secretary of state), distributing business loans is often a function of economic development agencies, and enforcing laws related to electricity may be for regulatory commissions.

Answer:

overseeing voter registration
