Chia sẻ

(VOVWORLD) - Viewers from countries not participating in the Eurovision Song Contest will be able to cast a vote for their favourite act next year for the first time in the competition's history, the organiser said on Tuesday.

It said the new "Rest of the World" vote was to strengthen the audience's power to influence the results and to recognise the global reach of the competition, which last year drew a television audience of more than 160 million.

Viewers will be able to vote via a secure online platform, and a full list of eligible countries will be published nearer the time of the event, usually held in May.

The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Liverpool, England. 

The contest's organisers said they were also making changes to the voting system for the semi-finals, which would now be decided by viewers alone rather than a combination of votes from viewers and national juries of musical experts as previously.
