Stockholm Revisited Part Six: The Voting

The voting is the most watched part of the Eurovision Song Contest. In previous years the results of the professional juries and viewers have been presented as a combined result, each accounting for 50 percent of the final score. In the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, the professional juries and televoters from each country were awarded as a separate set of points from 1 to 8, 10 and 12. In part six of our Stockholm Revisited series we look back at the biggest change to the voting system since 1975, a format which added a new level of excitement for hundreds of millions of viewers across Europe and beyond.
