Love Island USA is back for its seventh season, and if you’re hooked on the drama, you’ll be glad to know your opinion actually counts. That’s right — fans get to vote and help decide who stays, who goes, and ultimately, who wins the $100,000 prize.
Here’s a complete guide on how to vote during Love Island USA Season 7, when to do it, and why it matters.
To vote, you’ll need to download the official Love Island USA app, available for free on both iOS and Android devices. It’s the only place where voting happens. Once installed, make sure to register using a valid U.S. phone number — this confirms your eligibility and lets the app verify your votes.
Voting typically opens right after new episodes premiere on Peacock, usually around 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT. However, this can vary slightly depending on the episode and situation in the villa.
Voting is OPEN! ❤️ Head over to the #LoveIslandUSA app now to cast your vote for your favorite boy and favorite girl. Voting is open for two and a half hours, closing at 12:30am ET / 9:30 pm PT. Voting is open to U.S. residents 18 years or older. pic.twitter.com/RGqRWF8q0A

The voting window only lasts about 2.5 hours, so you’ll need to act fast. For example, one recent vote opened at 10:00 p.m. ET and closed at 12:30 a.m. ET. Push notifications from the app (and alerts on the show’s official social media accounts) will remind you when it’s time.
Once voting is live, just open the app and tap the “Vote” button. You’ll see the latest poll — whether it’s to pick your favorite couple, decide who should go on a date, or choose who’s at risk of being dumped from the island. You get one vote per poll, and every vote plays a role in shaping what happens next.
The show lets fans vote on different aspects of the game throughout the season, including:
Sometimes the vote is to keep someone safe. Other times, it’s about which pair deserves a romantic opportunity — or who America wants to send home.
Voting is only open to U.S. residents aged 18 or older. Even if you’re watching from another country, unfortunately, you won’t be able to cast a vote (though you can still enjoy the drama!).

This isn’t just for show. Viewer votes actually determine major outcomes in the villa. For example, early in the season, America’s first vote split up a couple, sending Huda and Jeremiah in different directions. And in the end, your vote helps decide who takes home the $100,000 prize.
The more fans vote, the more unpredictable and exciting the game becomes. Your voice directly shapes the Love Island journey.
