when does dwts voting end

For current seasons of Dancing with the Stars , voting usually ends near the end of the live episode , shortly after the final competitive dance and before the winner or eliminations are announced.

Quick Scoop: When DWTS Voting Ends

  • Voting typically opens when the live show begins at 8 p.m. ET.
  • It closes after the last competition dance , often during the final commercial break or shortly after the final performance.
  • This same pattern applies to both regular performance nights and the finale: the window stays open only during the live broadcast in Eastern and Central time zones.
  • Viewers on the West Coast usually must vote earlier (aligned with the East Coast live airing), not when it airs for them locally.

Example

On a typical season 34 night, voting opens at 8 p.m. ET when the show starts and stays open through all the dances, then ends during the last commercial break after all performances are done.

If you’re asking about a specific episode or finale date, check that night’s on-screen prompts or the official DWTS/ABC site, because they’ll confirm the exact cut-off time for that broadcast.
