The voting

50% of the result in all three shows (two semifinals and a final) comes from the jury, while the other 50% comes from the audience. The jury is divided into Spanish and international, while 50% of the audience is divided between the televoting and a sample of the Spanish population selected based on statistical and demographic data (the demographic jury).

• Beatriz Luengo (Spanish musician, composer, actress, dancer)
• Ángela Carrasco (Dominican singer)
• Carlos Baute (Venezuelan singer-songwriter and television host)
• Guille Milkyway (Spanish singer, composer, DJ and producer)
• Lee Smithurst (Executive Producer, BBC Head of Show for Eurovision 2023)
