How to Vote for Your Favorite Dancers on Dancing with the Stars

Voting for your favorite dancers on Dancing with the Stars is a straightforward process that allows fans to influence the outcome of the competition. Here are the steps to cast your vote:

You can vote for your favorite dancers either through ABC‘s website or via text messages. During the live broadcast, a number will appear on the screen, and you can text the first name of the dancer you want to vote for to that number. For example, if you want to vote for Danny Amendola, you would text “Danny” to the provided number.

Voting is only available during the live simulcast in the ET/CT time zones. However, online voting is accessible to fans in any time zone during this live broadcast period. You are allowed to cast up to 10 votes per competitor per voting method, which means you can vote up to 10 times through the website and another 10 times via text messages.

The scoring system on Dancing with the Stars combines judges’ scores with audience votes. The judges give scores out of 30 (or 40 if a guest judge is included), and these scores are then converted into a percentage of the total judges’ votes. The audience votes are also converted into a percentage, and these two percentages are combined to determine the final score for each dancer. This system ensures that both the judges’ and the audience’s opinions are reflected in the results.
