Eurovision 2025: There will be no changes in the voting system.
There will be no changes in the voting system through which the Eurovision Song Contest winner is emerged!
The Croatian Head of Delegation and member of the Reference Group Tomislav Štengl confirmed to the national broadcaster of Croatia, HRT, that no changes are considered to the voting system of Eurovision, in which 50% of the result comes from the televoting and the other 50% from the national juries.
“Different combinations were changed at the Eurovision Song Contest. There was only the jury, then the audience, and half-and-half jury, then only the audience. There is always some flaw, it cannot be 100 percent good for everyone. For two years now, the audience winner has finished second. However, the position of the EBU at the moment is that nothing will change. The principle of 50:50 jury and audience remains”
There has been considerable debate among Eurovision fans and delegations about whether the voting approach for the contest should change. Since the voting was split into two, 50% jury and 50% televoting, there have been several occasions where the televoting favorite did not win. The results from 2016 are as follows:
- 2016 – Russia – Sergey Lazarev – “You are the only one” – 1st televote, 5th jury – 3rd overall
- 2017 – Portugal – Salvador Sobral – “Amor pelos dois” – 1st televote, 1st jury – 1st overall
- 2018 – Israel – “Netta” – “Toy” – 1st televote, 3rd jury – 1st overall
- 2019 – Netherlands – Duncan Laurence – “Arcade” – 2nd televote, 3rd jury – 1st overall
- 2021 – Italy – Måneskin – “Zitti e buoni” – 1st televote, 4th jury – 1st overall
- 2022 – Ukraine – Kalush Orchestra – “Stefania” – 1st televote, 4th jury – 1st overall
- 2023 – Finland – Käärijä – “Cha Cha Cha” – 1st televote, 4th jury – 2nd overall
