Once contestants make it past the Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, and Knockouts, they have to survive the Live Shows. It’s then that viewers can finally cast their votes. Because the series airs twice a week, there’s plenty of opportunity for viewers to place their bids.

Following the live performances on Monday nights, viewers can cast an Overnight Vote via the Voice app or by visiting NBC.com/VoiceVote.

The window for Overnight Votes lasts from 8 p.m. EST on Monday to 7 a.m. EST the following morning. During that period, you can vote up to 10 times per email address. There’s also a quick window during the show to get those last few votes in, but that isn’t the only way to take part in the process.

There’s also Instant Save voting — which takes place during the Live Results Show. This method allows viewers to vote for their faves in real-time by way of ​​NBC.com/VoiceSave. During the show, viewers can log on to the site (or the app) during the five-minute window to cast their votes.

Unlike the Overnight Votes, the Instant Save results are revealed during the episode and viewers are only allowed to vote once per email address.

The Season 23 semi-finals of The Voice starts on Monday, May 15 at 8 p.m. EST on NBC!
