Voting rules: Rest of World vote
In 2023, the countries that qualify from each of the two Semi-Finals of the Eurovision Song Contest will be decided solely on the basis of votes cast by the general public. Juries, in each country taking part in the respective Semi-Final, will still cast their votes but they will only be used should a valid televote not be recorded or possible in an individual country. The Jury votes from each participating country will however be counted, as before, in the Grand Final. They will be combined with the result of the public vote to make up the total overall score.
Eurovision 2023 has undergone changes in the way of voting. Different rules for deciding the winner have been introduced this year. In the semi-finals, only TV viewers from individual countries will be able to cast their votes, without the participation of a professional jury. In the final, points will be awarded based on audience ratings and jurors’ ratings from the music industry. Significantly, for the first time in the contest’s history, viewers from countries not participating in the event will have the chance to cast their vote as the Rest of World vote.
