How to Vote for AGT Semifinalists 2026: Every Method Explained

Twelve acts, six spots decided entirely by America’s vote, and a two-hour-a-week window that closes fast. Here’s exactly how to vote for your favorite AGT Season 21 Semifinalist — every method, every deadline, and the details most guides skip.

Quick Facts

  • Voting opens: 8 p.m. ET Tuesday, September 15, when the Live Semifinal begins
  • Voting closes: 7 a.m. ET Wednesday, September 16
  • Vote limit: Up to 10 votes per method — up to 30 total if you use all three
  • Methods: AGT App, NBC.com/AGTVote, TikTok (@agt)
  • Eligibility: U.S. residents aged 13 and older

Note: this season’s format change means judges no longer have per-round Golden Buzzers or Judge Saves during the Semifinals — six of the 12 acts move on purely on vote count, and the judges only get one final collective Golden Buzzer pick for the seventh spot. Nothing about that changes how you vote; it just means your vote carries more direct weight than in past seasons.

Method 1: Vote via the AGT App

  1. Download the official “America’s Got Talent” app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
  2. Create an account and sign in.
  3. Tap “Vote” or “Go to Vote Now” once the Live Semifinal begins airing.
  4. Select your favorite act from the list of 12 Semifinalists.
  5. Assign up to 10 votes to that act (or split them across multiple acts if you want).
  6. Save or submit your votes before the window closes.

Method 2: Vote via NBC.com

  1. Go to NBC.com/AGTVote.
  2. Sign in to your NBCUniversal profile, or create one if you haven’t already.
  3. Select the act you want to support.
  4. Assign up to 10 votes and click Save.

This method works from any browser, so it’s the easiest option if you’re watching on a computer rather than your phone.

Method 3: Vote via TikTok

This is the newest voting method, introduced this season, and it works differently from the other two:

  1. Open TikTok and go to the official @agt account.
  2. Find the specific post prompting you to “comment to vote” — often labeled “Vote Here.” This is a new post for each live show; comments on any other AGT TikTok video will not count.
  3. Comment the full name of the act you’re voting for (e.g., “Veronika Goroshkova,” not just “Veronika”).
  4. Repeat with a separate comment for each additional vote, up to 10 total.

Each individual comment counts as one vote, so leaving the same comment ten times in a row on the correct post is the intended method — it isn’t a glitch or workaround.

Do Votes Stack Across Methods?

Yes. The 10-vote cap applies per method, not per person overall. That means a fan who votes through the app, NBC.com, and TikTok can cast up to 30 total votes for the same act in one voting window. If you only use one method, you’re capped at 10.

Voting FAQs

Is voting free?

Yes, all three methods are free. Standard data or messaging rates from your carrier may apply if you’re voting on mobile data rather than Wi-Fi.

Can I vote for more than one act?

Yes — your 10 votes per method don’t have to go to a single act. You can split them however you like.

Can international viewers vote?

No. Voting is limited to U.S. residents aged 13 and older.

What happens if there’s a tie?

AGT has not published specific tie-breaking rules for this format; historically, ties of this kind have been rare given the scale of the vote.

When do results air?

The Semifinal results show airs Wednesday, September 16 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with the six advancing acts (plus the judges’ final collective Golden Buzzer pick) revealed live.
