ABOUT THE VOTE:

During the live shows, the judges will give each couple a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges' scores alone do not decide a couple's fate.

Fans can vote by four different methods:  toll-free phone calls, text voting (AT&T customers only), online at ABC.com or online via Facebook at facebook.com/dancingwiththestars

Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only), Facebook and online voting will open during each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone and text lines will stay open until 60 minutes after the end of the show in your local time zone. Facebook and online voting at ABC.com will remain open until 11AM (Eastern Time)/ 8AM (Pacific Time) the following day.

In the Dancing with the Stars Results Show, the couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will be eliminated from the competition. The scoring is divided evenly between the judges and the viewers at home, ensuring unpredictable outcomes at the end of every show. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.

Viewers can vote via phone and text message for their favorites ONLY on the night they perform; online voting ends at 11AM ET/8AM PT the day following the performances. The Dancing with the Stars Results Show will premiere the week of competition on Tuesday, March 19 at 9|8c.

To vote by text message, text the word "VOTE" to your favorite couple's number below from your AT&T phone. Message and data rates may apply.

PHONE/SMS NUMBERS:

Lines open during each performance show for viewers to phone and text vote for their favorite couples and will stay open for 60 minutes after the end of the show in each time zone. The whole country can vote.

One (or more) couple(s) will be knocked out of the competition each week there is a results show. The couple with the lowest overall score is knocked out of the competition.

The scoring and format of the show is unique to the series and is not based on a standard dance championship.  The competition is governed by the Official Rules made available to each couple. The above is a summary for informational purposes only.
