Republican lawmakers are demanding answers from the Pentagon after receiving complaints about inadequate resources to help military service members vote.

Active duty service members claim the Pentagon has not allocated enough resources to let them cast their ballot on time.

The stockpile of write-in absentee ballots on at least one military base is depleted and has not been replenished, according to three GOP congressmen.

Voting procedures for military personnel are governed by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act , which requires that service members are regularly notified of upcoming elections and that their absentee ballots receive expedited mail delivery service to be counted in federal elections.
