How to vote online for Strictly Come Dancing

The voting rules for this year are yet to be confirmed by the BBC. However, this series will likely follow the same format as previous years.

Last year, fans could vote online by heading over to the Strictly homepage, where they would be given some instructions on how to place their vote.

Fans could pick their favourites by registering for a BBC account and voting during the show. When the vote was open, the link to submit your choice would appear at the top of the Strictly page.

Fans were able to vote more than once - but there was a limit on how many times viewers could vote per episode.
