NBC's The Voice will air five hours over three nights the week of Nov. 5 as the reality series enters the voting round of the competition.

Since the show's regular Tuesday broadcast will be preempted on Nov. 6 because of NBC News' Election Night coverage, The Voice will air its Monday edition plus Wednesday, Nov. 7 from 8-10 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 8 from 8-9 p.m.

The scheduling puts The Voice in direct competition with Fox's The X Factor on Wednesday and Thursday of that week. The last time the rival shows aired head to head on Sept. 12, Voice topped X Factor with a 3.4 adults 18-49 rating to Fox's 2.7 in their shared hour.
