VOTING -- HOW IT WORKS:
The first season of Duets will consist of nine episodes. During the first five shows, after each performance, the Duet Partners will be scored by the three Superstars with whom they are not partnered. These scores are represented as rankings and at the conclusion of each of these shows, a chart will display the rankings of each of the Duet Partners.
Starting with the sixth episode, we go live, where America will have the opportunity each week to decide who will continue on in the competition by voting via phone, online at ABC.com or via Facebook.
After each live episode, the Duet Partner who receives the lowest number of votes will be eliminated during the next live episode until the one remaining Duet Partner is named the winner of Duets!
How to Vote:
You can vote for your favorite contestant via telephone or online voting at ABC.com and Facebook.com.
Online Voting at ABC.com and Facebook will open at the start of the East Coast airing of each live episode and will close the following day at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Time for all time zones. Voting by telephone will open at the end of each Live Episode in each time zone when the Program’s host or announcer states that the voting lines are open, and will close the following day at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time for all time zones.
Voting is limited to five (5) votes per phone line, five (5) votes via ABC.com and five (5) votes via Facebook.
The competition is governed by the Official Rules made available to each Duet Partner. The above is a summary for informational purposes only.
