Croatia: Dora 2024 voting rules are changing!

According to the Croatian website, Jutarnji.hr, with big changes will take place Dora 2024! Already, this year’s Dora marks the first event since 2011 that will include two Semi-Finals.

Big changes, however, will also take place in the way of voting in Dora 2024. Now on both nights of the Semi-Finals, the finalists will be chosen, exclusively by the TV audience. The televoting will therefore determine the eight artists with the most public votes, from the two semi-finals, who will advance to the Grand Final, which will take place on 25 February.

On the other side, in the Final, the artist and the song, which will represent Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden in May, will be chosen jointly by the TV audience and the jury. The ratio of total points awarded by the audience and the jury will be 50-50. In the event of a tie between the audience and the jury, the winning song will be the one that receives the most votes from the audience.

Finally, the jury will no longer consist only of domestic professionals and lovers of good music. In contrast, the Croatian song for the Eurovision Song Contest this year will be selected by four Croatian committees (from HRT centers Zagreb, Split, Rijeka and Osijek), as well as four committees from abroad. The international committees will come from Iceland, Ukraine, Italy and Germany. Each jury will have three members and will consist of music critics, music journalists, composers and producers.

The Dora 2024 Semi-Finals will take place on February 22 and 23 and the Grand Final on February 25, where Croatia’s Eurovision 2024 representative will be determined.

The separation of the artists in the two Semi-Finals is as follows:
