Poll: How many times did you vote in Eurovision 2025 Grand Final? (0-20+)
Hey all, Im just interested to see how many TOTAL votes you did in the Grand Final of Eurovision 2025.

I took your numbers as of right now for me (half nine on Saturday night) and I've come up with the following. If I set the 20+ votes at 30 for the sake of this exercise, as well as setting 40+ at 40 and 60+ at 60. Given that, those voting 20+, 40+ and 60+ outnumber all those voting from 0 to 19 and are only outnumbered by the group voting an even 20 times. Number of votes declared : Total number of votes 0-19 : 1262 20 : 4270 20+ (set at 30), 40+ (set at 40) and 60+ (set at 60) : 1633 The next question to look at would be how many different artists did people vote for, I would guess that those voting 20+, 40+ and 60+ times are far more likely to vote for one act disproportionally compared to the others. It is so easy for those willing to spend money to hugely impact the result.
I voted for three countries, 4 votes via phone and then a few more over the app, wanted to try it. Next year would choose over the app only.
I voted 20 times in both the semi and final (wasn't aware I could vote more than that). In semi 2, I voted 10 times for Czechia, 10 times for Austria and in the final I voted 10 times for Austria 10 times for France.
I'm paid of ROTW and I decided not to vote this year. Potentially due to personal financial reasons, partially due to not wanting to give the EBU money.
fair enough
I voted 20 times from the Netherlands through the Eurovision app. 10 x for Finland, 7 x for Denmark and 3 x for Switzerland. Got an confirmation email quick after that so I guess my votes got through correctly.
Voted from the Netherlands by text/SMS. Weird thing is that I never got a confirmation of my vote (normally I would get something like “thank you for your participation” in return). And I voted for Switzerland, so it was like my votes disappeared into a black hole ⚫️
oh yea i got a video from all the artists i voted for
ROTW here - only voted in the semis as I felt I could make more of an impact and had set myself a limited Eurovision allowance lol. I voted 20 times in both semis spread across my top 5 acts in each
I did the same! When you're in the ROTW vote it's easy to go extra overboard by voting in both semis and the final.
I voted 20 times for 4 countries in the final, pretty cheap in the UK only £3 in total for all 20 votes. Didn't vote in the semis as all my favourites (except Finland) were in the 1st semi final and I couldn't vote in it.
Do another poll on how many different countries people voted for. I put in 19 votes in total, for a combination of 11 songs.
yes, good idea, but should it only be for people who voted 20 times? because isnt there a difference between someone with 20 votes voting for 1 person and sometone who voted 5 times all for 1 person?
20 - Latvia 10, Austria 5, Malta 3, Israel 2.
In the UK you can only phone in and my phone provider won't let me vote🥲
I voted 40 times total (I always get my partners votes), but spread the votes among 6 countries. TBH, after the results I actually wished I just dropped all my votes on one of them to make a difference - most of my votes didn’t count towards points in the end.
Germany voting with landline telephone or mobile number costs 0,14€ so it's extremely cheap. I called 20 times from my mobile phone and idk how many times with the old landline phone. It takes longer to build up a connection there and the phone didn't show me how often I had called the number. So no idea really how often. I never ever got a message that voting failed, not the years before either. I never even knew there was a cap. I wonder if my call still costs 0,14€ if it wasn't counted? It's weird too, because the German automatic voice message always says I.e. "Australia is thankful for your vote, your vote has been counted". I have never had any other message like that is has not been counted for example. But then I also don't remember ever calling more than 20 times. I voted like 30 times for Finland and 10 times for albania I think. It was not much use in the end...
WOW that is insanely cheap - why on earth would you not vote 20 times then?
20 times, but for six different countries: Luxembourg, Albania, Switzerland, Finland, Lithuania & Poland. Voted from Spain
is spain the app or do you have to call?
I missed the grand final live because of conflicting schedules so I didn’t vote. I voted 20 times in each Semi which is where I feel like I can make a bigger difference anyway
yes thats true
I put in 20 for Erika, because I knew she'd need it and I have the spare funds. I'm a ROTW voter.
I think I did 14 for each semi, and those were split votes.
I voted 16x for Finland, 4x for Sweden, from Ireland.
I tried to do 5 but I went through the app (UK) and it calls the short number but it kept saying call failed although the app said ‘thanks for your vote’. It was quite cheap for us so I’d probably do up to 10 if I really loved the act. It’s a lot of effort to do 20!
the UK system sounds like such a fuss to do
7 for Albania, 5 for Latvia and 2 for Germany. Sorry Finland and Italy. Iceland got 5 votes in the semi.
Gave 20 votes per show but votes were split
I did 20 but it’s quite cheap in the UK which makes a difference. The phone system for voting in the UK is ridiculous. Last year and this year in the semi i was sometimes unable to get through but it counted it as one of my 20 votes. In the final I called right at the beginning and there was no problem so I think people who left it till after all the songs may have struggled to have some of their votes counted.
My votes were spilt across 7 countries.
I didn't realize how much cheaper voting is in different countries. With 1,5€ per vote, voting 20 times seems insane.
yea it was 0.60 for us
Twice, one for each of my faves who I thought would benefit the most 💪 They just increased the price from 1€ to 1,50€ in Finland this year which is hella expensive 🫣
yea that is A LOT for a non-tangible product
IIRC I only voted once in the GF and gave all 20 to Albania. I know in SF1 I gave 20 each to my top two for absolutely no result.
ZJERM!!! 🔥
I voted 7 times for 4 different countries 1+1+2+3
10 for Finland 6 for Albania 4 for Latvia. I think voting for only one country isn't in the spirit and the juries are basically doing ranked choice and so should we.
yep exactly
Did vote 3 times, usually I just vote once, I don't have 15€ to blow. Wow seeing this result I guess I shouldn't bother voting anymore in the future...
well i dont think this poll is representative of casuals
2 votes, different countries each. Would have voted probably up to 5 times but the prices have gone up from 1 to 1.5 euros in Finland. That's too much for this purpose. I rather give the money to charity (=gaza).
yea thats a lot. it was only 0.60 euro from ireland
I voted once for each country in my top 10 except Israel who's my number 10 since I didn't want to be grouped in with everyone who votes Israel.
12! I was going to vote 20 but I got too distracted and bored of calling in repeatedly. Which punished the acts later in the running order 😭
ah you called instead of using the app?
20 votes for 6 countries.
Total of 20, split as 5+5+4+2+2+2
yea my split was similar
20, but that was representing 5 people at my party, so kind of 4 per person. Distribution was: each person got a vote for their favorite, 10 votes were distributed to our collective top 4 (4-3-2-1) and then I gave 5 to San Marino because I’m their only diaspora voter and I was the one paying.
I voted 6 times spread over 4 countries. Clearly I need to start voting 20 times across multiple credit cards for my vote to count 🙄
😭
