How to Vote for Bigg Boss 20: Complete, Easy Guide
Voting for Bigg Boss 20 is simple, but a few steps trip people up every week. Follow this clean, updated process to make sure your vote actually counts. Not sure who is still in the house? See our Bigg Boss 20 contestants list.
1. Download or Update the JioHotstar App
The only official way to vote for Bigg Boss 20 is through the JioHotstar app. There is no separate voting website, no missed-call number and no SMS option this season.
- Install it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, or update it if you already have it installed.
- An outdated version of the app is the most common reason the voting tab fails to load, so update it before the episode airs.
2. Register or Log In Using Your Mobile Number
Once the app is open:
- Log in or sign up using your mobile number.
- Enter the OTP sent to your phone to verify the account. This keeps the vote tied to a genuine number.
3. Search for Bigg Boss 20 and Open the Voting Section
After logging in:
- Use the search icon and type Bigg Boss 20, then open the official show page.
- Tap the Vote tab on the show page. It lists every contestant currently up for elimination that week.
4. Select Your Favourite Contestant and Submit Your Vote
- Tap the name or photo of the contestant you want to save.
- Confirm the vote when the app prompts you.
- Watch for the on-screen confirmation message. That’s your vote counted.
5. Know the Voting Window and the Rules
- Voting for a given week’s nominees generally opens once nominations are locked in, typically early in the week, and closes on Friday morning ahead of the Weekend Ka Vaar results.
- Each account gets a capped number of votes per day, and the limit resets daily.
- Voting is completely free and restricted to numbers registered in India.
- There is no public live tally. Any “leading” or “trending” percentage you see on fan sites is that site’s own unofficial poll, not the real JioHotstar count.
Be wary of any third-party site or message asking you to pay for “extra votes” or a “voting boost.” JioHotstar voting is free, and anything charging money for it is a scam.
6. Tips to Make Sure Your Vote Counts
- Vote early in the week instead of waiting for the Friday deadline, when the app tends to slow down under traffic.
- Stay logged in so you are not stuck waiting on a fresh OTP every time.
- Use the same registered number each week for consistency.
- Keep the app updated so the vote tab does not glitch or disappear mid-week.
Why Your Vote Matters
Bigg Boss has always run on audience power, and this season is no different. With a fresh set of housemates nominated for eviction each week, viewer votes are the only thing standing between a contestant and an early exit. If you want to see your favourite go further in the house, this is the window to act.

Bigg Boss 20 Voting – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Where can I vote for Bigg Boss 20?
You can vote only through the official JioHotstar app. There is no SMS, missed-call or separate website voting.
2. Is voting free?
Yes, voting through the JioHotstar app is completely free. Never pay any site or app claiming to sell votes.
3. How many times can I vote?
Each registered account gets a limited number of votes per day, and the count resets the next day. The app itself shows how many votes you have left.
4. When does voting close each week?
Voting typically closes on Friday morning, ahead of the Weekend Ka Vaar episode where Salman Khan reveals the result. Exact timings can shift, so it is safest to vote a day or two early.
5. Can I change my vote after submitting it?
No. Once submitted, a vote cannot be edited, so double-check the contestant before you confirm.
6. Can I vote from outside India?
Voting is generally limited to numbers registered within India. Overseas numbers may not be eligible.
7. Why can’t I see the voting button?
Possible reasons:
- The voting window for the week has not opened yet, or has already closed
- Your app is not updated to the latest version
- You are not logged in

Update the app, log back in and try again.
8. How do I know my vote was counted?
You will see a confirmation message on screen inside the JioHotstar app right after you submit your vote.
