Voting Mechanism Overview
Each country contributes to the outcome through two distinct sets of points. Firstly, a jury composed of seven music industry professionals assigns points. Secondly, viewers at home also have a say in the outcome.
How to Vote
Voting methods include:

In 2026, viewers must pay to vote. In the UK, each vote costs 15p. In other participating nations, the fee can reach up to €0.99. This payment system is designed to limit fraudulent votes and ensure that votes are cast from the voter’s country of registration.
