North Macedonia win Eurovision 2019 jury voting as EBU clarifies mistake in Belarusian voting.

The EBU have responded to the error in the Belarusian jury voting at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. They have now clarified that a mistake has indeed taken place and that the results have now been updated. The update now sees North Macedonia as the new jury winner.

“A human error”

The Belarusian jury was dismissed following the reveal of their votes from the first Semi-Final which is contrary to the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest. In order to comply with the Contest’s voting regulations, the EBU worked with its voting partner digame to create a substitute aggregated result (calculated based on the results of other countries with similar voting records), which was approved by voting monitor Ernst & Young, to determine the Belarusian jury votes for the Grand Final.
The EBU can confirm, following standard review practices, we have discovered that due to a human error an incorrect aggregated result was used. This had no impact on the calculation of points derived from televoting across the 41 participating countries and the overall winner and Top 4 songs of the Contest remain unchanged.

What has changed?

The results have been amended to respect the correct mechanism being in place. This means the new full results are as follows:

The Netherlands (498 points)
Italy (472 points)
Russia (370 points)
Switzerland (364 points)
Sweden (334 points)
Norway (331 points)
North Macedonia (305 points)
Azerbaijan (302 points)
Australia (284 points)
Iceland (232 points)
Czech Republic (157 points)
Denmark (120 points)
Cyprus (109 points)
Malta (107 points)
Slovenia (105 points)
France (105 points)
