Dwts Season 35 Text Voting Screen Breakdown: Exact Shortcodes and Sms Codes Confirmed
By Robert Thorne
The shift toward a unified, live nationwide broadcast reshaped how viewers outside the Eastern time zone participate. When Dancing with the Stars aired purely on linear television, West Coast audiences endured delayed broadcasts, often learning results from social media before the episode finished.
With Disney+ streaming the show live across all North American time zones at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT, viewers in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Phoenix can watch performances in real time while texting shortcodes alongside East Coast fans. Those who rely solely on local ABC broadcast channels at 8:00 p.m. PT miss the active voting window entirely.
Ballots cast between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. PT count; ballots texted during the delayed 8:00 p.m. PT linear ABC broadcast do not. Fans who cannot watch during early evening hours must pre-cast their ballots based on previous week routines, using the opening minutes of the live stream to secure their 10 SMS allotments before producers tally the combined leaderboard.
