Love Island USA Voting Rules, The 5-Step Flow
-
Get the App from the App Store or Google Play.
-
Register once with a U S phone number (free; 18+).
-
Watch on Peacock—votes open on the app, not on the website or by text.
-
Act fast: the poll usually stays open ~ 2–2.5 hours after the episode.
-
One vote per device per poll; results shape couplings, dumpings, and finales.
1. Download the Official Love Island USA App
The show’s only sanctioned voting happens inside the Love Island USA app, which also hosts exclusive clips, quizzes, and merch. It’s free on both iOS and Android and refreshed for Season 7 in May 2025.
2. Register Once, Vote Often (But Only in the U.S.)
You’ll need a U S mobile number and must be at least 18 years old (or have parental consent). Registering is a one-time step, but you must repeat the verification if you uninstall the app. Data rates may apply, yet the vote itself costs nothing.
3. Watch for Push Alerts: Voting Windows Are Tight
Producers announce each vote on-air and via push notifications. Typical windows run 9 p.m.–11:30 p.m. ET (6–8:30 p.m. PT), though exact start times vary by episode. Miss the window and the voting tab will vanish until the next poll.
4. What You Can Vote On: Couplings, Eliminations & Plot-Twists
-
Recouplings: Fans decide which singles pair up during special twist nights.
-
Dumpings: Lowest-ranked Islanders or couples are at risk of being sent home immediately or left to face a villa vote.
-
Final Winners: In the finale, your vote crowns the couple who splits—or steals—the $100 k prize.
Occasionally, producers add shock twists (e.g., “Casa Amor return vote”) announced with little notice, so keep the app handy.
5. Pro Tips to Maximize Your Impact
-
Enable all notifications so you never miss a surprise poll.
-
Watch live instead of next-day to catch voting windows.
-
Coordinate with fandoms: Reddit threads often share countdowns and strategies.
-
Avoid duplicate accounts—multiple votes from the same device can be voided by app filters.
