Anyone with a valid Instagram account may vote via Instagram Comment Voting, wherever the Instagram application or website is accessible, regardless of location.
VOTING RESTRICTIONS:
For both Billboard Website Voting and Instagram Comment Voting (each, a “Voting Platform”), you may submit up to twenty-five (25) votes per Award per day during the Voting Period on each Voting Platform.
Turbo Voting:
During “Turbo Voting,” you will be able to submit up to fifty (50) votes per Award via Billboard Website Voting during the “Turbo Voting Period.” During the “Turbo Voting Period,” any votes cast (up to the twenty-five (25) vote per Award limit) via Instagram Comment Voting will be doubled up to a total of fifty (50) votes per Award.
Turbo Voting Periods are as follows:
Any attempt to deliberately undermine, circumvent, or manipulate the legitimate operation of the vote process is strictly prohibited, including, without limitation, (a) use of fraudulent, robotic, or ghost Facebook, Google, or Instagram accounts, (b) use of multiple email addresses to set up multiple Facebook, Google, or Instagram accounts, or (c) automated voting scripts, programs, or macros (not including legitimate third-party software that enables the scheduling of posts, or status updates such as HootSuite). Dick Clark Productions, LLC (“Producer”) reserves the right to disqualify the votes from any individuals/entities that Producer suspects or finds: (i) to have engaged in manipulated and/or inauthentic voting practices; (ii) to have tampered with the voting process; or (iii) to be acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person. Producer is not responsible for technical, hardware, software, or telephone malfunctions of any kind, lost, interrupted, or unavailable network or server connections, failed, incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate, garbled, or delayed electronic communications, or for any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the voting process or any human error which may occur in the tabulation of votes. Producer further reserves the right to designate alternate spellings, key words, or other criteria (as it determines in its sole discretion) that, if used, will qualify a vote as valid.
VOTING RESULTS: The total number of valid votes for each Award submitted on both Voting Platforms during the Voting Period and Turbo Voting Periods will be tabulated, and the nominee receiving the highest total number of valid votes for each Award will be declared the winner of the Award.
The winners of some or all of the Awards will be revealed during the live television broadcast of the Program scheduled for May 26, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Check your local listings for more information about show times. Winners of all of the Awards will also be posted online after the live broadcast at TheAMAs.com.
If the voting process is interrupted for any reason, is found to have been tampered with in any way, or for any other reason that Producer believes to be reasonably necessary (for example, in instances of infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical or system failures or disruption, ‘acts of God’ or terrorist attacks, or any other causes beyond Producer’s control), Producer reserves the right to select the winners of the Awards and may take into consideration the number of votes received by any nominee up until the time of the interruption or cancelation of the voting process.

GENERAL CONDITIONS: Producer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) cancel, suspend, and/or modify any one (1) or more of the voting methods for the Awards if any fraud, technical failures, human error, or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the voting process, as determined by Producer in its sole discretion; (ii) disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the voting process or to be acting in violation of these Rules or acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner; and/or (iii) to change these Rules at any time during the Voting Period and/or Turbo Voting Periods. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the voting process may be a violation of criminal and civil law. Should a person make such an attempt, Producer reserves the right to seek damages from such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Producer’s failure to enforce any provision of these Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: By participating in the voting process, you agree that the Released Parties are not responsible for: (i) any incorrect or inaccurate information, including, without limitation, that is the result of any printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in any of the voting methods and whether caused by Producer, platform providers, or voters; (ii) technical failures of any kind, including, without limitation, malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (iii) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the voting process; (iv) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the voting process or the counting of votes; or (v) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from your participation in the voting process.
