Thank you for reaching out with your query about voting at the Eurovision Song Contest. We appreciate your enthusiasm and support for the celebration of music and culture that Eurovision represents!

We validate the country of a voter by checking the issuance country of their payment card. This is a reliable indicator of their current residence, as we can rely on the KYC obligations of banks. A change in IP address, or selecting a different voting region on the site does not allow users to circumvent this check. It is therefore very reliable.

Should you need any more assistance or require further information, please feel free to contact us. Your participation helps make Eurovision truly special.

Warmest regards,

Eurovision Song Contest voting team

So that's it

Next year it will be somewhere in Austria, and I'm sure there will be a whole lot of interest in the 70th Eurovision Song Contest.

At this point, I don't think I'll be returning to this website for another year. My first post was in Jul. 23 2011 and honestly, it is time to put this to bed. Thank you to all the people who follow and re-blog and show love, and give comments (even the mean ones). You all made the journey a fun adventure.

I say this, but you could find this post deleted and I start writing Eurovision again. We will see - never say never.

But for now: Adieu

Let's have them all voted out 'Weakest link style'

I can't trust juries, i can't trust televoting, let's apply the conclave voting style to eurovision

The Good, The Bad and the Interesting of ESC Vote 2025.

The Good

75 lots of 12 points were given out last evening (37 from juries, 37 from televoters and one from ROW).

Eighteen different countries received 12 points from somewhere in the voting. The ones that didn't were Norway, Luxembourg, Spain, Iceland, the Netherlands, Malta, Portugal, and Denmark.

Israel received 15 of those; only one of those came from a jury (Azerbaijan)

The next highest lots of 12 went to Austria (8) and then Italy and Greece (7 each), France, Estonia and Sweden (5 each).

Clearly - Israel received the most 12s from the Televoters. Austria had the most 12s from the juries. Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands and Sweden gave exactly these top marks.

Where juries and televoters agreed: Azerbaijan (12 - Israel), Cyprus (12- Greece), Lithuania (12- Latvia), Malta (1 - Sweden), and the most bizarre, Slovenia (12 - Italy, 10- Austria, 7 - Estonia).

The big differences in votes: Armenia to Estonia (televote 12, juries 2), Czechia to Germany (televote 1, juries 12), Greece to Albania (televote 12, juries 2), Latvia to Estonia (televote 12, juries 1), Luxembourg to Israel (televote 12, juries 1), Norway to Austria (televote 1, juries 12).

The Bad

I like to see who was rated last. Here is how that went down:

Juries and Televoters agreed in Australia, and Denmark (San Marino), Armenia (Azerbaijan).

You'll be pleased to know that there were no countries done dirty by giving 12 and getting last in the jury/televote.

The Interesting

There were three nil point this year. Some may have been expected, others not so.

The closest to breaking the duck was Switzerland. Portugal has them placed at 11th in the televote.

Iceland's best jury place was 13th from both Denmark and Finland.

The United Kingdom's best televote place was 18th from Iceland, Ireland and Malta

If you know others, pls comment.

There is a simple answer to that statement:

No!

There are reasons for this.

It will bring the contest into disrepute.

There would/should be mass withdrawals from taking part in a celebration year of Eurovision.

There are three countries that have specifically called out the nation for their deeds which has gone unanswered by the EBU. So they (the EBU) will continue to pretend nothing is going on there as the fire burns around them.

How do you guarantee the safety of the visitors and entrants there with the actions of their government?

The records of Eurovision should not be tarnished with such things.

that country should have won eurovision so that the contest fully goes into crisis mode instead of pretending that everything is fine

that was a cuss word in that third window - for anyone that didn't catch it
