What Time Does Voting Start & End on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ 2025?

With Episode 6, “Wicked Night,” we are now halfway through Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars.” It’s still anyone’s guess who will take home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Every celebrity pairing has rabid fans.
While some may be more vocal than others, everyone has been busy promoting their team. But there is a specific window during which to vote. Votes submitted before or after won’t be counted, so you must get the timing right.
‘Dancing With the Stars’ Voting Begins at 8:00 p.m. ET & Ends at 9:00 p.m. ET
“Dancing With the Stars” airs every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. CT. You can start voting for your favorite dance pair as soon as the show begins. Once the final couple of the night finishes their dance, voting ends. Sounds easy, right? It is — if you live in the Eastern or Central Time Zones and watch the show when it airs live.
Unfortunately, those on the West Coast don’t get to watch the show live, but three hours later at 8:00 p.m. PST. Those on the West Coast who want to vote must vote between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. PST. Everyone who wants their vote to count must do it during the live show airing.
