You must be at least 13 years of age and in the U.S., Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands to vote online or in the app. This means that if you are very determined, you could vote up to 30 times in total for your favorite finalist.
Voting opens when the show starts on the east coast at 8 p.m. (that is 5 p.m. on the west coast) and closes on Monday morning at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT. If you want to vote by text, here are the numbers that you need to know. (Spoiler: The Top 14 are listed in order of appearance by artist.)
