Britain Got Talent Voting Results: What the Official Record Shows
Britain Got Talent voting results are shown at the end of each semi-final, and the act with the most valid votes is declared the final winner. ITV published Series 19 final percentages, including the winning act's share, but says percentages may be rounded. The published rules do not establish what Simon knows before a decision.

Who won the 2026 series
The winner is the clearest point in the Series 19 record. ITV names The Hawkstone Farmers Choir as the winner of Britain's Got Talent 2026. Its terms describe the final rule: during the final show, the act with the most valid votes is declared the winner. Those statements tell readers both the result and the selection condition without supplying a total count.
The 2026 final took place on Saturday 30 May, according to Rayo. ITV listed the winner announcement for that same Saturday at 9:45pm. Those are distinct published details: one reports when the final took place, and the other gives the listed announcement time. They should not be collapsed into a claim about when every viewer saw the result, because the record does not establish that.
For a reader checking a winner list, the confirmed name is therefore The Hawkstone Farmers Choir. That answer is narrower than a full breakdown. It identifies who won and the rule that governs the declared winner, but it does not disclose each act's raw vote total or the distance between the winner and other finalists.
- The winner named by ITV is The Hawkstone Farmers Choir.
- The stated final criterion is the most valid votes.
- The final date reported by Rayo is Saturday 30 May.
Full results and the published percentages
ITV published voting percentages for the Series 19 final. Its article lists The Hawkstone Farmers Choir at 28.72% of the final vote and warns that percentages may have been rounded up or down. That warning matters when interpreting a close-looking table: a displayed percentage is a presentation of the reported result, not necessarily a precise record of every underlying vote.
A percentage is not the same thing as a count. It expresses a share, while the available published detail here does not provide the corresponding number of valid votes. Nor does the single stated share establish the percentages of all finalists. The fact that ITV published an article about the final figures does not make every row of that article available in this account.
The phrase full results can mean several things: the winner, the order of finalists, each finalist's percentage, or the exact number of votes. The confirmed information answers the winner question and gives one finalist's percentage. It does not support filling in the missing shares, assigning a place to every act, or calculating an exact total.
The safest reading keeps the result and the precision caveat together. ITV's published percentage for the choir is 28.72%, while ITV says the percentages may be rounded. A reader should not treat those figures as proof of an exact underlying share or use the one listed percentage to infer figures for other acts.
- Published share identified here: The Hawkstone Farmers Choir, 28.72%.
- ITV's caveat: published percentages may be rounded up or down.
- The other finalists' figures are not specified in the information stated here.
When semi-final outcomes appear
ITV's terms place the semi-final public-vote outcome at the end of each semi-final show. That is the timing rule this record supports. It does not give a separate clock time for each announcement, a schedule for every episode, or a promise that a result will appear at a different point in the programme.
The end-of-show timing also answers a common distinction between a vote window and a result announcement. The rule names when the outcome is shown; it does not explain how long voting stays open, the precise moment it closes, or what a viewer sees while the count is under way. Those details should not be supplied by guesswork.
For the final, the terms say the act with the most valid votes is declared the winner during the final show. The wording differs from the semi-final timing clause: one locates the semi-final outcome at the end of each show, while the other says the final winner is declared during the final show. Neither statement gives a running tally.
- Semi-final public-vote outcome: shown at the end of each semi-final show.
- Final winner: declared during the final show.
- The available rules do not state an exact count or live percentage display.
What the rules do and do not establish
The published terms define a result through valid votes, but the stated clauses do not explain every aspect of validity. They do not spell out a detailed review process, identify a particular moderation tool, or describe how an individual submission is assessed. That gap is not evidence that any specific review happened; it is a limit on what can responsibly be said from these clauses.
A platform's submission mechanics and the organiser's result rule are separate questions. A screen or counter can show activity, while the official result depends on the rules the organiser applies. The available ITV language establishes the winner criterion and the announcement timing, not the internal record behind every vote or a public audit of each entry.
The objections about platform rules, disqualification, or a submission being detected as fake cannot be settled from the stated information. No detailed rule here describes those cases or names a test used to decide them. It would be inaccurate to promise that a submission will count, to claim that a disputed entry was accepted, or to say that a particular detection decision is certain.
What can be said is limited but useful: the final rule refers to valid votes, and the published outcome is an organiser's declared result. Where a contest rule does not define a disputed case, a viewer should consult the current official terms and any result notice for that series. No separate procedure should be invented to fill the silence.
- The stated final criterion concerns valid votes.
- The clauses here do not define a detailed validity review.
- A disputed submission cannot be resolved from an unstated procedure.
Reading dates and series references
Series labels matter when comparing results. The supplied figures refer to the Series 19 final, and the winner announcement identifies the 2026 series. A result from one edition should not be silently transferred to another. In particular, a request for Britain's Got Talent 2024 vote results is not answered by Series 19 figures; no 2024 percentage or winner detail is established here.
Publication dates and programme dates also serve different purposes. ITV listed its final voting-percentages article on 1 June at 3:00pm, while the final and winner announcement were listed for 30 May. The later article date is when ITV listed that article, not the date of the show or a second announcement of the winner.
For current series information, the organiser's own programme terms and result announcements are the relevant records. A date from a previous series does not establish the next deadline, the next final date, or whether a particular episode has already revealed its result. No future schedule is stated in the information here.
The distinction is practical: use the series label to identify which result is being discussed, and use the publication or broadcast detail only for the event it describes. That prevents a past final's percentages from being presented as a current live result.
- The percentage article is identified as a Series 19 final report.
- The listed publication time for that article is 1 June at 3:00pm.
- No 2024 results are established by the Series 19 figures.
What remains unknown about the tally
An official winner announcement is not a complete count. The published rule tells which act wins, and ITV's article offers percentages, but the stated details do not provide exact totals for every finalist. They also do not explain the full calculation behind the percentages. Rounding is explicitly possible, so displayed values should be treated as reported figures rather than exact arithmetic inputs.
The rules do not state what happens in a tie, how a late or interrupted submission is handled, or whether a viewer can inspect a vote log. Without a published answer, those questions remain open. It would be misleading to describe a particular tie-break, technical check, or appeal process as ITV policy on the basis of the information given here.
The same restraint applies to guesses about what a presenter or judge knows. The clauses describe the outcome and the winning criterion; they do not state who has access to percentages before an announcement or selection. A confident answer about private knowledge would go beyond the published record.
This boundary is useful when a result is discussed online. Separate a confirmed announcement from speculation about totals, access, or behind-the-scenes decisions. The first can be reported as a result; the second needs its own explicit official statement before it can be presented as fact.
- Exact totals for all finalists are not stated here.
- The available clauses do not specify a tie procedure.
- Advance access to percentages is not established.

Fast answers
Who won Britain's Got Talent 2026?
The Hawkstone Farmers Choir won Britain's Got Talent 2026, according to ITV's Series 19 winner announcement. ITV's rules say the final winner is the act with the most valid votes. The result identifies the winner; it does not disclose a complete count of valid votes.
What were the full results?
ITV published Series 19 final voting percentages, including a listed share for The Hawkstone Farmers Choir. The available record here does not give every finalist's percentage, so a complete winner list or full table cannot be reconstructed from that information alone.
But how did the votes fare for our other finalists?
ITV published a Series 19 final percentages article for the other finalists, but the available figures here identify only The Hawkstone Farmers Choir at 28.72%. ITV cautions that percentages may be rounded, and no other finalist's share is stated here.
So who would have gone through in the first semi if it went to public vote?
The available ITV rule says each semi-final's public-vote outcome is shown at the end of that show. It does not identify who would have advanced under a different scenario, so a hypothetical first-semi result cannot be established from the published detail here.
I was just going to ask if Friday's result was the only one that didn't go to public vote?
The available rules do not establish whether Friday's result was the only one decided without a public vote. ITV's stated rule covers the announcement of each semi-final public-vote outcome, not a comparison of every result or selection method.
Also, are we pretty sure that Simon does know the percentages before he picks someone or says to go to the vote?
No published detail here establishes whether Simon knows percentages before choosing or asking for a public vote. The documented rule says when the semi-final public-vote outcome is shown; it does not describe what a presenter or judge sees beforehand.

The published figures do not establish every finalist's share, exact vote totals, advance knowledge, or hypothetical outcomes. No conclusion should be drawn where the stated rules give no answer.
Each organiser's own terms decide which votes are valid, and an organiser can void votes or disqualify an entry. ITV's Love Island terms limit each registered mobile number to one vote per voting event and rule out any method the terms do not state. America's Got Talent asks voters to register and accept its official voting rules, with a cap of ten votes per act, per voting method, per voting window. The American Music Awards decided each winner by the total of valid votes in the category.
Organisers write an ordinary voter down in numbers. The American Music Awards allowed up to 30 votes per award per day on each voting platform, the NASCAR All-Star Race fan vote allowed five a day per unique email address, and the iHeartRadio Music Awards allowed 50 a day per category. A crowd of separate voters stays inside limits like these and arrives day by day, with busier days when an organiser opens a boost. This describes how organisers count; it is not a way around a check.
We give no legal advice and cite no statute: the terms that bind a fan vote are the organiser's own, and they fix who may vote. Dancing with the Stars online voters must be at least 18 and in the United States, its territories or Canada; Love Island USA voting is open to US residents aged 18 or older, or with parental permission. We refuse member-only ballots such as the ACM Awards, categories an organiser decides itself, as MTV did with Best Video, and any vote for public office.

The part of a request that is not delivered before the organiser's voting closes is refunded. A result, a disqualification and a voided vote are never refunded, because the organiser decides all three. Nor is a vote's worth inside the format covered: the MLB All-Star ballot did not carry Phase 1 totals into Phase 2, and at The Game Awards fan voting is one tenth of the vote that decides winners.
