The result will be determined by way of a 50/50 split between national expert juries and televoting. The combined scores will create the final outcome. Voting will take place in each of the 17 countries, plus France, Germany and Spain.

In last night’s Jury Final, the expert juries already determined their votes by watching the live performances. These results have however not been revealed. The televoting will take place during the live show once the final performance has taken place.

The first semi-final took place on May 14. The following ten countries qualified for the final: Moldova,  Lithuania, Ireland, Estonia, Belarus, Denmark, Russia, Belgium, Ukraine and the Netherlands.
