Eurovision 2024 finals voting system
The final result comes from a combination of public votes and a jury’s decision. This year, public votes from the rest of the world will play a part for the first time.
Each of the 37 competing countries has a jury consisting of five music professionals to rank all the final performances.
The juries award a fixed number of points to their 10 favorite songs, in descending order: 12 points for the most popular, 10 points, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point for the least popular.
The jury results are announced by each country in turn on the night.
Competing countries then award points to the other contestants based on viewer votes, following the same scoring system.
Worldwide votes will be combined and counted as if they are cast by another country.
People in the U.S. that want to vote in Eurovision 2024 can do so through the contest's app or website.
