The result was determined through two rounds of voting.

- Music jury (singers, musicians, producers, songwriters creators etc.): 12 points awarded to Klemen
- Television jury (editors, presenters, directors, choreographers etc.) 12 points awarded to Klemen
- Radio jury (radio editors, journalists, presenters, etc.): 12 points awarded to Klemen
- OGAE Slovenia jury: 12 points awarded to July Jones
- International Eurovision influencer jury (bloggers, vloggers, online journalists etc.): 12 points awarded to July Jones
The two acts that advanced to the second and final round were the following:
- July Jones – New Religion
- Klemen – How Much Time Do We Have Left
The jury’s detailed results were as follows:
Round 2
In the final round, the two artists performed again, with the Slovenian public having the final say on who would represent the country at Eurovision 2025.
During the voting process, Ana Soklič, Slovenia’s representative at Eurovision 2020 and 2021, took the stage alongside Soul Crew to perform “Silvia”.
She was followed by Lea Sirk, the country’s 2018 Eurovision representative, as well as Urban Koritnik and Filip Vidušin, two members of the band LPS, which represented Slovenia in the 2022 contest. Together, they delivered a rendition of Slovenia’s 1993 Eurovision entry, “Tih deževen dan”.
Lastly, the two hosts, Raiven and Štras, performed “Zaljubila” along with a rendition of “Zažarim”, the song Raiven competed with in the country’s national final in 2017.
Ultimately, Klemen emerged victorious with his song “How Much Time Do We Have Left”, securing his place as Slovenia’s representative in Basel.
