How many votes strictly

These Terms were updated as of 23rd September and apply only to the series of Strictly Come Dancing. Please note you cannot vote from this page. When the vote opens, head to the Strictly homepage. When the vote is open, shimmy over to the Strictly homepage.

But remember, the page you're currently reading just provides the instructions - it's not the voting page and you cannot cast your vote from here. Before you can vote, you need to be signed in with your BBC account. If you're a Strictly superfan and voted online last year, then provided you're using the same device, you should still be signed in and ready to vote!

You can sign-in directly from the Strictly homepage during the show. Alternatively, you can sign-in any time at bbc.

You can register from the Strictly homepage during the show, or any time at bbc. When the vote is open, it will appear at the top of the Strictly homepage. The button will confirm how many votes you will be submitting in one go eg.

You can now cast all your votes at once, or cast them one at a time as you did last year. Once you have submitted your vote or votes it cannot be changed. The phone numbers will be given out in the show and be made available on the Strictly homepage whilst the vote is open. Vote lines are opened and closed at the times specified on the programme.

Please do not call before the lines open or after the lines have closed as your vote will not be counted. Please be aware voting times may change. To vote from your mobile in the UK, please call the short 7-digit number announced for your chosen couple.

Calls from mobiles to the short 7-digit number cost 15p per vote and should cost less than calling the long digit number from your mobile so please, if you can, dial the short 7-digit number from your mobile.

You cannot text and you cannot dial the short 7-digit number from a landline. If you do not have a BBC account, you can register for one for free at www. If you have any trouble registering or signing in, you can visit the help pages at www. The online vote will be open during the same period as the telephone lines. Please check your broadband or mobile contract to check the cost of using data services.

The results of the telephone vote and the online vote will be aggregated prior to any announcements. If you are watching Strictly Come Dancing on BBC iPlayer, following through a website or any other time shift, catch up or on demand service you should not vote since the lines and online vote may have closed.

These ranks are converted into points, with the highest scoring couple ranked first receiving a number of points equal to the number of couples. For example the couple with the highest combined judges scores when only 6 couples are left competing will receive 6 points, the second placed couple will receive 5 points and so on.

When there are couples with the same rank they all received the same combined scores from the judges they all receive the same points based on that rank and the next lower scoring couple receive points equivalent to that score minus 1. For example for the 6 couples remaining, there are three joint second place couples. Those 3 couples will receive 5 points. The fifth placed couple will receive 4 points and the couple at the bottom of the leader board will receive 3 points.

Ties are dealt with in the same way. In the event of a tie in the combined ranking the number of public votes for each couple will resolve the tie the couples will be placed in order of the public votes received — highest first.

In the very unlikely event that there is a tie in the judges' scores and the public vote, the scores from Head Judge Shirley Ballas will resolve the tie the couples will be placed in order of the scores received From Shirley — highest first. In the extremely unlikely event of a tie remaining, Shirley will have final decision on breaking the tie. Your trust is very important to us.
