Sweden: These are the two final qualifiers of Melodifestivalen 2024!

Immediately after the round has ended, the final qualifiers show began. Two more finalists have been selected and two have been voted on to the qualifiers, along with the season’s other 3rd and 4th placed teams and it is clear now that the two final qualifiers of Melodifestivalen 2024 are Annika Wickihalder and Jay Smith.

Here’s how the two last finalists were determined

Once both finalists in heat 5 have been chosen, the ten entries placed third and fourth in the five Rounds will return to compete for the two remaining final spots. This takes place in a final qualifier through an extension of round 5. An extended quick replay of the ten qualifiers will be shown, and viewers can vote up to five times per entry in the app and per phone number.

Each entry receives an initial score based on how many votes they received in their competition – in relation to how many people voted in it. For example, an entry that has received 1,000,000 votes in a contest where 500,000 people have voted will have a value of 2. If another entry has also received 1000,000 votes but only 400,000 votes in that sub-competition, that entry will have a value of 2.5 and thus receive a higher initial score in the final qualification compared to the first entry.

This initial score is reported first. After that, the qualifying voting starts and it is then possible to vote via app and phone. Once voting has ended, an additional 1000 points will be awarded based on the number of votes per entry. The points are awarded in exactly the same way as in the final: The entry with the fewest points before the voting will have their new points reported first. When all points have been reported, the two entries with the highest number of final points will move on to the final.

In the event of the same final score for two or more entries, the highest number of votes during the voting that took place during the broadcast will be decisive.
