How you can vote
Is your country taking part in the second Semi-Final tonight, or are you living in France, Germany or Italy? Then you will be able to vote for your favourites! After all songs have been performed, you can vote for ±15 minutes. Voting is possible via the official Eurovision app, and by telephone and SMS through the numbers shown on screen. Rates and legal terms will be shown on screen as well.
Through the official app, you will also receive a special thank-you message from the artists you voted for!
You can vote up to twenty times, but you cannot vote for the country you are voting from. Televotes make up 50% of the result; the other 50% of tonight's result was determined by a professional jury last night.
