For Love Island USA Season 8 , voting usually opens at the end of an episode and stays open for about 2 to 4 hours ; one reported window was from 10:30 p.m. ET to 1:30 a.m. ET , and another report says polls can remain open two to three hours after the episode ends.

What that means

  • If you’re trying to vote, the safest move is to do it as soon as the app says voting is open.
  • The exact close time can change from vote to vote, and it has been extended before when the app had issues.
  • New episodes air at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock, except Wednesdays, so votes often line up right after the nightly episode.

Timing example

A reported Season 8 vote opened on June 9 at 10:30 p.m. ET and closed at 1:30 a.m. ET. Another source notes the first vote was set to run until 1 a.m. ET on June 10.

Practical tip

Turn on notifications in the Love Island app so you get the alert when voting starts, because the window can be short and may change.
