Both app and website will provide the correct voting method for all eligible countries automatically.

For those in participating countries, you can only vote in the Semi-Final your country takes part in, or the Semi-Final assigned to your country if you're watching from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom or Sweden. You can vote up to 20 times for your countries of choice.
