Real-time voting

Influence the outcome of select live events on Netflix through real-time voting.

How to vote

You can vote during specific moments as the event streams live. Vote using your TV remote, or on your mobile device if you’re watching in the Netflix mobile app.

  1. When it’s time to vote, you’ll be prompted on-screen and will have a limited amount of time to submit your vote.

  2. Select from the options displayed on the screen.

    Note: You can only vote once (per profile), and your vote can’t be changed after submitting.

  3. You’ll see the results of each voting choice during the live episode.

You can only vote if you’re watching live. If you rewind or aren’t caught up, you may miss the voting window.

Currently, real-time voting is available during the livestream of select live events, like Star Search. If voting is included, it’ll say at the beginning of the show, after clicking play.

You can vote once per profile per voting window.

The weighting of the audience vote may vary for each show that includes real-time voting. Tune in live to understand the rules for a particular show.

You can only vote if you’re watching live. If you rewind or aren’t caught up, you may miss the voting window. Watch the next episode live to submit your vote.

The voting interface is only available in English; however, you can still vote regardless of your language settings.

  • If you're seeing a message to watch live on a supported device to vote, your device doesn’t support real-time voting, and you’ll need to watch on a different device to be able to vote.
