How to Vote in Bigg Boss Telugu

You vote for Bigg Boss Telugu on the show’s own platform, not on fan sites like this one. The show airs on Star Maa and streams on JioHotstar, where the in-app vote runs. Here’s the method in full — the steps, the vote allowance, the weekly window, and the traps to avoid.

Which platform do you vote on?

JioHotstar. Star Maa is the channel that airs Bigg Boss Telugu on television, and JioHotstar is the streaming service that carries the show and the in-app vote. There’s no separate “voting app” to install.

How the in-app vote works

Open the JioHotstar app, search for Bigg Boss Telugu and play any of the latest episodes. While a voting window is open, a Vote button appears below the playing video. Tap it, and the week’s nominated contestants come up with their photos and names — pick the one you want to keep in the house, then confirm with Done. That’s the whole flow. The exact layout can shift between seasons, so follow whatever the live voting screen shows rather than a fixed set of taps.

How many votes do you get?

One vote per account per day in the JioHotstar app — cast today’s vote, come back tomorrow for the next one while the window is open. The live voting screen states the cap, so that’s the place to double-check.

What happened to Google voting?

Older guides still tell you to search Google and vote right in the results. That was real once — in the show’s early seasons a Google search vote ran alongside the broadcast — but it was retired when voting moved into the streaming app. No recent season has used it, so treat any “vote on Google” instruction as a leftover from an old article.

The Fan Zone is not the vote

While a season runs, the show’s page in JioHotstar also carries a Fan Zone — daily questions and polls for superfans, with its own perks for the most active players. It’s easy to mix up, and worth keeping straight: Fan Zone answers are engagement, not eviction votes. Playing it doesn’t save your favourite. The only vote that counts against an elimination is the one cast in the voting section while a window is open.

What about “missed call” voting?

It comes up every season. In Season 9, established media reported two official routes during finale week: the JioHotstar app and contestant-wise missed-call numbers. So missed-call voting isn’t automatically a scam. Two cautions, though. Those Season 9 numbers don’t carry over to Season 10, and fake numbers circulate every year. Only use a number published through an official channel, and ignore anything you can’t trace back to the show. If Season 10 offers an official missed-call option, we’ll add it here with the source.

When is voting open?

The window follows the week. Nominations air on Monday and voting opens that night once the episode ends, runs through the week, and closes around midnight on Friday — before the weekend episodes where Nagarjuna announces the saves and the eviction. The show sets the exact open and close times each week, and a window can be extended, cut short or skipped depending on that week’s twists. We won’t post a precise voting date or a countdown until it’s officially confirmed.

Agnipariksha runs a separate vote

Everything above is the main-season vote, the weekly one that decides who leaves the house. Agnipariksha, the pre-show that picks the commoner contestants, runs its own audience vote on its own shortlist, and that method hasn’t been published either. It’s covered on the Bigg Boss Telugu Agnipariksha 2 page.

Don’t mix up the vote with a fan poll

The vote that decides who stays is the one the show runs. The poll we host here is an unofficial opinion poll, a read on which way fans are leaning, and it has no effect on the result. We lay out the difference on official voting vs our fan poll. To take part for real, use the official JioHotstar app when voting is open.
