This two-hour installment of “American Idol” airs live nationwide on May 9 beginning at 8 p.m. eastern time (that is 5 p.m. on the west coast). You can cast your ballot when voting opens at the start of the show on Sunday. The voting window closes at the final break for commercials. Ryan Seacrest will reveal the Top 5 at the end of the episode.

You must be at least 16 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 determined, you can vote up to 30 times in total for your favorite finalist.
