Romania's Alex and Ilinca: "Blown away by the audience's reaction"

26 Songs: 42 Juries Twenty-six songs will participate in the Grand Final, and professional juries in each of the 42 participating countries in the 2016 contest will account for 50% of the overall total. Each jury will be comprised of five members, (including a chairperson) who will be the same jurors who will also be voting in the Semi-Finals. They will monitored by an independent notary in each country. The jury consists of a variety of members in terms of age, gender, and background. They are all citizens of the country they are representing. The juries vote tonight, so that the EBU has a valid voting result before tomorrow's live show. Should any unexpected problems occur in the televoting, the jury votes can be used as back-ups. This setup also allows the EBU and PwC, who carefully monitor the voting, to assure the validity of the jury voting before the live show. In case of apparent irregularities, a national jury vote may be discarded. None of the jury members are connected with any of the participating songs or artists, in order that they can vote independently. All jury members have made signed declarations stating that they will vote independently. You can find out who is in each national jury below. The Grand Final contenders 1.
