Here is everything you need to know about the Eurovision Song Contest's complex voting system as the European Broadcasting Union has made some changes for the 2023 edition
To make things more complicated, the European Broadcasting Union, which produces the competition, has made some tweaks for the 2023 edition.Here is how it works: Viewers from all participating countries will be invited to vote for their favourite songs on the night of the grand final on Saturday May 13.Each person can vote up to 20 times but voters will be unable to select their own country’s entry.
After viewers have cast their votes, a national spokesperson from the participating countries will be called in to present the points of their professional jury – which range from the maximum “douze points” to zero.After the presentation of the scores from the juries, the public points from all participating countries will be combined, providing one score for each song.
The 10 countries that qualified from Tuesday’s semi-final were Croatia, Moldova, Switzerland, Finland, Czechia, Israel, Portugal, Sweden, Serbia and Norway.
