How have the jury votes and televotes been combined?
In each country, the top ten entries of the jury receives 1 to 8, 10 and 12 points. Then, the top ten of the televoters also receives 1 to 8, 10 and 12 points. These two lists are combined by the contest's voting partner Digame.
The combined list contains between ten and twenty countries; minimum ten countries in case the jury and the televoters voted for the same ten countries, and a maximum of twenty countries in case the jury and televoters each had ten different countries in their top ten.
The country that received most points in the combined list receives 12 points in the voting, the runner-up receives 10 points, and so on, until the tenth country on the combined list receives 1 point. In case of a tie on the combined list, the country that receives the most points from the televoting prevails.
The countries outside of the top ten on the combined list get no points from the country that votes. This explains why the countries that received a lot of points from the juries, but few points from the televoting (or the other way around) get few points in the combined ranking.
