system has changed to what is known as the "hot chairs". Each coach can ultimately steal only one player (who sits on the hot seat assigned to that coach's team), because when "stealing" another player, the previously stolen person is replaced and dropped from the program; From this edition, each coach could steal (press the button and take over a player) up to three times, but from 10. The steal button coaches can press without limit. The battles therefore end with seven participants advancing to the next stage. During the ninth season, there was the first ever elimination of all participants from a team in one battle.

If a trainer leaves a contestant on stage in the show, they have to eliminate someone sitting in the hot seat. Four (five in the first, second and sixth editions) finalists from each team qualify for the live episodes. The Live Shows When the teams consist of 5, 4, or 3 contestants, the coach chooses from among the two contestants with the fewest votes from the viewers (who decide by sending text messages) the person who drops out of the program.

In 11th season due to the coronavirus pandemic and recording episodes before they aired, the elimination rules were changed. Once all participants from a given team had sung their songs, the coaches scored the performances, awarding them from 1 to 10 points. The coach of that team would then select one
