The voting system for the four jurors will be different from the method used in the heats and the semi-finals. Each juror will announce their scores after all songs had been performed rather than assigning scores following each performance and the jurors will rank their preferred top four entries and assign points in the following manner: 4 (lowest), 6, 8 and 10 (highest).The four songs with the highest total score will qualify for the second phase and then the final decision will be taken with 100% of televoting.
