How is the winner of The Voice decided?
The Voice is broken up into five different rounds: the Blind Auditions, the Battles, the Knockouts, the Playoffs, and the Live Performance Shows. While the Coaches call the shots and decide which Artists will advance to the next stage of the show, the audience takes control and ultimately decides the winner.
During the Live Shows, America votes for their favorite Artists during a live broadcast on The Voice Official App or the official website. The Artists who have the lowest number of votes are sent home and the one with the most votes is named the winner of the season, earning the grand prize of a recording contract.
