Voting Begins After LIVE Performance Show Airing Wednesday, November 2, on FOX
Syco Television, FremantleMedia and FOX announced a partnership with Twitter to allow fans – for the first time in television – to cast votes for their favorite finalists on THE X FACTOR via Twitter; and fans also can vote via mobile App with Verizon Touch Voting on The Xtra Factor App.
Toll free calling and text message voting will open following each regional broadcast of the performance shows. America can vote for their favorite finalist(s) for at least two hours, subject to time zone restrictions.
Verizon, the show’s official voting sponsor, and THE X FACTOR will offer viewers five ways to vote, including:
- Twitter – Fans can vote via Twitter using the instructions and prompt at twitter.thexfactorusa.com. Once fans sign up for Twitter, they must then follow @TheXFactorUSA and cast their votes via Direct Message. Direct Messaging is a private way to communicate on Twitter. Votes will not be publicly visible. Tweets will not count as votes.
- Verizon Touch Voting on The Xtra Factor App on Verizon Android devices – Verizon Wireless customers with compatible Android devices can get The Xtra Factor App by calling **XF. Then customers vote using Verizon Touch Voting by touching the image of their favorite finalist in the App during voting, directly following the live performance shows.
- Toll-free calling – Each week, viewers can call one of the designated telephone numbers – each one corresponding to one of the finalists – to cast their vote. The numbers are 1-855-THE-XF-01 (-02, -03, -04, -05, -06, -07, -08, etc).
- Text messaging for Verizon Wireless customers – THE X FACTOR viewers who are Verizon Wireless customers may also use text messaging to vote by texting the word “VOTE” to the four-digit short codes (9301, 9302, etc.) for the finalist(s) of their choice each week.
- Online at TheXFactorUSA.com. Fans with valid Facebook accounts can also vote at Facebook.com/TheXFactorUSA, giving The X FACTOR unprecedented online reach.
After the finalists perform LIVE on Wednesday, Nov. 2 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), voting will open for the first time. The first voting results will be revealed on the LIVE results show Thursday, Nov. 3 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
