There are two instances in the game that triggers a vote. Either when a dead body is reported or when someone calls for an emergency meeting.

Method #1: By Reporting a body

Whenever a crewmate stumbles upon another dead crewmate’s body, the megaphone towards the bottom right side of the screen will activate a button with the text REPORT on it. The crewmate has to then use the megaphone button to report the death and assemble all crewmates together for a discussion and subsequent voting.

During the discussion, crewmates have to deliberate and attempt to deduce who the imposter is among the players who are present. This is done in preparation for the actual voting so that crewmates can hopefully vote out the imposter.

When the voting panel shows up, you will see two options against the name of every crew member: a green checkmark, which will allow you to cast your vote against them, or a red X you can use to cancel the action in case you change your mind and want to vote someone else out.

Method #2: By calling for an emergency meeting

Besides performing tasks (for crewmates) and sabotaging the crew (for imposters), the moment a crewmate is murdered is a point of major interaction and tension in the game. This is when crewmates call for an emergency meeting to discuss and debate who looks sus and whom to vote out. Of course, if you have been playing Among Us, then you are aware that such a thing exists and have participated in them as well. This button immediately brings all the players in the game together for an emergency meeting which entails a discussion and vote to remove someone that the crewmates consider the imposter.

Keep in mind that the voting process that occurs in an emergency meeting is the same as when a dead body is reported. The only variation between the two events is that emergency meetings are driven by suspicion and speculation without an actual death to justify it. Some Crewmates trigger emergency meetings even when another crewmate is following them around for a suspiciously long time. Paranoia takes the element of emergency meetings to the next level.

Among Us Voting Tips

1. Vote to survive

Whether you’re an imposter or crewmate, your main objective going into voting must always be survival. For crewmates, this means staying in the game for as long as possible while keeping as many crewmates on board as they can.

So, make sure to participate in the discussion when necessary, keep a level head, gauge the situation, and proceed accordingly.

2. Communicate

There are sus accusations on the one hand and then there are legit discussions that are meant to weed out imposters. Keep in mind that there is going to be very little time before the voting commences so communicate as effectively as you can.

If you have seen the imposter in action, report it, if you feel a crewmate is being sus, ask around to confirm said crewmate’s behavior. Watch out for suspicious cues, imposter traps, false accusations, etc., and vote accordingly.

3. Keep your own counsel

Don’t forget that the final call on every vote lies with you and you alone. So whether it is to protect yourself and your fellow imposter or you’re in the crewmate position and aware that an innocent is being framed, make sure that you manipulate the discussion accordingly. This will definitely have an impact on the voting process.

How to see who voted you out

You will be able to see the helmets of the players who cast a vote against you right next to your name in the voting panel once voting is over.

How to skip voting in Among Us

Another option that’s also available during the vote is the SKIP VOTE button. This option is for when the crewmate is unable to make up their mind or if the discussion was futile and hence, did not deserve a vote. There are certain circumstances when it is simply better to skip the vote (which we will cover in the next section).

Locate the Skip Vote button on the bottom left side of the voting screen beneath the names of all the crewmates. When you tap/click on it, a green box with a checkmark and a red one with a cross will appear next to the button. Select the green box to skip.

How to see who skipped voting

Once the voting is over, the game will show you a tally of how the votes have been cast. Crewmates who have skipped voting will appear at the bottom next to the Skipped voting text.

When to skip voting and when not to?

It is best to skip voting (or not) in the following circumstance:

When you’re an imposter

If you’ve managed to convince the other crewmates of your innocence and are absolutely sure that they have no clue about who else is the imposter, skip the vote. However, when they are in the process of voting out an innocent crewmate then you can get in on the whole deal without drawing any suspicion.

There will also be unique circumstances such as when the crewmates have identified your fellow imposter without a shadow of a doubt when you may have to cast a vote simply to avoid suspicion of your own and continue in the game. Choose wisely and tread carefully when you’re the imposter.

When you’re a crewmate

As a crewmate, things are fairly chill when you’ve caught an imposter venting red-handed which is when casting your vote is also easy. However, you need to also account for situations in which the imposter could be trying to manipulate you into removing an innocent crewmate (which tends to happen a lot). So be wise and skip the vote to fight another day when necessary.

Whether you’re an imposter or crewmate, there is no clear formula that can be applied to the voting process. The fact that no two voting sessions can be the same coupled with the premise that human beings are their own worst enemy is what makes this game so great in the first place.

How to change voting time in Among Us

Voting time ranges between 15 to 120 seconds and you can customize this time only if you’re the host of the game. Here are the steps you need to follow.

Once you’ve created the game, you will find yourself in the spaceship while others join. Go closer to the laptop that you will see on one of the boxes and tap/click on it.

Now, the customization menu will open to give you edit options. The very last tab will be for the Game, click/tap on it.

Within the Game menu, you will see the option to increase (+) or decrease (-) Voting Time. Click/tap the plus (+) sign to increase the time and click/tap the minus (-)  sign to reduce it.

Can you cancel the voting?

There is absolutely no way to cancel voting once the crewmates have been called to assemble for discussion. The only way to avoid voting is to skip it.
