Seems like there should be some sort of rule in place that you can't have any control over an election if you're a candidate. Are these elections held under state laws?

Yes. Some states, mostly in the south, used to need federal approval to make changes, because they had a history of preventing black people from voting, but that was undone in 2013. Take a guess what happened next.
