BBC Sounds Voting Terms and Conditions

  1. You can take part by accessing the BBC Sounds app. Once voting opens, you will find the question and a list of alternative answers. You can register your vote by electronically selecting the option you wish to vote for. 
  2. Any votes registered outside the announced voting times will not count. 
  3. To vote through the BBC Sounds app, you must sign in with a BBC account. Please follow instructions within the Sounds app to sign in. 
  4. This is not a competition and there will be no prize for any option or anyone taking part. Where the vote result has a consequence, the BBC will endeavour to meet it but editorial requirements may lead to a change in schedule or a change in programme content. However, the vote result stands.
  5. Live results may be displayed during the vote window. These should not be taken as an indicator of the final published results, but merely as a snapshot for interest. The Sounds app will show when voting is closed and the actual result is known.
  6. The BBC reserves the right to disqualify entries or suspend voting if it has reasonable grounds to suspect that fraudulent voting has occurred or if it considers there has been any attempt to rig the voting. The BBC has the right to substitute an alternative selection method at its absolute discretion.
