All the instructions and information you need to make sure you can vote for your favourite couple on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing 2023.
This year’s season of Strictly Come Dancing has been pretty incredible to say the least, and we’re only in the third week, meaning we’re in for a treat.
Audiences have seen standout performances from Layton Williams, Angela Rippon, Nigel Harman and Amanda Abbington, who have been scoring 30s in recent weeks, with the other celebrities creeping up the leaderboard. It’s going to be neck and neck each dance-off, that’s for sure.
Each week, viewers will watch the celebrities and their Strictly pros dance to the fullest in order to win the Glitterball trophy at the end of the competition.
The first Strictly eliminations saw Les Dennis leave the competition after he faced the dance-off against Nikita Kanda – who was then saved by the judges.
As the celebrities prepare to go live once again on Saturday 7th October, how can you vote for them to go far on the show? Here’s everything you need to know about voting for Strictly Come Dancing 2023.
How to vote online for Strictly Come Dancing
When the vote opens, head on over to the Strictly homepage, where you’ll find the vote at the top of the page.
You can vote online on the Strictly homepage, or by scanning the QR code available on their website – which will be displayed on screen during the show. Online voting can be done by a mobile phone, tablet or computer.
Before you can vote, you need to be signed into your BBC account. If you voted last year, providing you’re using the same device, you should still be signed in and ready to vote.
But if you have never voted before, you will need to register for a BBC account in order to vote.
Once the vote is open, the couples will be listed in alphabetical order.
You can cast your votes by selecting your favourite duo by clicking the plus icon next to their name so that a 1 appears in the box between the plus and minus icons.
Once you’ve allocated all your votes, you won’t be able to press the plus icon anymore. If you’re happy with your votes, then click ‘Submit X votes’ at the bottom of the page. Once submitted, the votes cannot be changed.
