This season of NBC’s The Voice is getting near the end of the season, with the show coming to an end after three weeks of live performances. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the schedule was altered slightly, but the show will end on schedule next week.

Instant Save Voting Will Decide The Final Contestant in the Finale
Viewers voted after the show last night to decide the top three spots in the finale. After that, the bottom three will be announced, meaning they will be eliminated from the competition. Following the elimination, the middle three contestants will compete for the Instant Save.
In past seasons, the Instant Save vote took place on Twitter when viewers would vote using the hashtag #VoiceSave along with the name of the artist they wanted to save from elimination.
Now, things are a bit different. Viewers have to vote using the Voice App or the show’s website. They must be registered with a valid email address, Facebook account, or Google account for both methods. Once voting opens up, you can go here to vote within the time period.
Voting is only open for a small amount of time, so be sure to get in there as quickly as possible to make your vote for the Instant Save count.
Fans have previously taken to Twitter to call out what they call an unfair voting process when it comes to the instant saves. Because the Instant Save happens during the East Coast broadcast of the show, West Coast voters have to decide who to vote for before even seeing the performances.
