Dancing with the Stars may be kicking off its 31st season, but it’s making history as the first ever show to be broadcast live via Disney+. You read that right — ! After 30 seasons on ABC, the hit dance competition series has a new home on the streaming service Disney+, but your viewing experience should remain pretty much the same (except now you need Disney+ and the show will be commercial-free).

More good news: if you have your DWTS voting habits committed to memory, you don’t really have to do a big update for the new season. It’s pretty much the same, albeit with a twist. Want to know how to vote for your fave on DWTS? Keep on reading!

How do you vote for Dancing with the Stars Season 31 on Disney+?

To vote via text message, just text the first name of the star (like “SHANGELA” or “JESSIE” or “SAM” or “JORDIN”) to 21523.

What time does voting for Dancing with the Stars Season 31 open?

Voting opens right when the show starts airing on Disney+, which is at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. Unlike in previous seasons where the west coast was pretty much shut out of voting due to the time difference, viewers from all across America, Canada, and Puerto Rico can all vote at the exact same time since the show is airing live at the exact same time.
