Voting on The Voice works differently this season. The show's app is gone as a voting tool. Fans now vote by text message or on TikTok, and the results come out the same night.
The change kicked in with Cut Week on Monday 2 November. That episode narrowed the field to a Top 13, with America picking the final spot. The first voting window closed at 3 a.m. ET on Tuesday 3 November. The result will be revealed when the live shows start on Monday 9 November.
From then on, voting runs each Monday until the live finale on 14 December. The coaches this season are Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, Queen Latifah and Riley Green. Carson Daly hosts.
How to vote on The Voice Season 30
| Method | How it works |
|---|---|
| Text (SMS) | Text the artist's name or voting keyword to 22854. Spell it exactly right or the vote will not count. |
| TikTok | Comment the artist's name on the official vote post at @nbcthevoice. Your TikTok account must be public. |
| App | No longer a voting option this season. |
| Limit | One vote per artist, per method. |
| Who can vote | Age 18 or older, in the United States or its territories. Text voters need a participating wireless carrier. |
When voting opens each week
During the live shows, voting opens at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT) and stays open until five minutes after the last performance of the night. That window applies in all time zones. Results are announced at the end of the same episode. There is no separate results show to wait for.
| Date | Round |
|---|---|
| 2 November 2026 | Cut Week (voting for the 13th finalist; window closed 3 a.m. ET 3 November) |
| 9 November 2026 | Live shows: Top 13, Part 1 |
| 16 November 2026 | Live shows: Top 13, Part 2 |
| 23 November 2026 | Live shows: Top 10 |
| 30 November 2026 | Live shows: Top 8 |
| 7 December 2026 | Live shows |
| 14 December 2026 | Live finale, Top 4, 9 to 11 p.m. ET |
How Cut Week worked
Cut Week replaced the old Knockouts and Playoffs. Each coach sent two artists straight to the live shows, then picked one more from a group of five who performed to stay in. That left 12 artists, three per coach. America then voted for one more artist from any team to make the Top 13.
It is a big change from past seasons, and it puts more power in viewers' hands earlier. The live shows also stream on Peacock at the same time they air on NBC, so fans in every time zone watch and vote together.
The show has a habit of shaking up its format in milestone seasons, much like Dancing With the Stars did with its Disney Night twists this week. Here the twist is simpler: fewer ways to vote, but faster results.
Tips so your vote counts
Check the spelling of the artist's name or keyword before you send a text. NBC publishes the keyword list in its official voting rules. On TikTok, make sure your account is public and you comment on the official vote post, not just any post from the show. Votes sent outside the window do not count, and standard message and data rates may apply to texts.
