Eurovision 2022: Voting results between jury and televotes split revealed after Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra defeat UK at final hurdleMeghna AminEntertainment – Metro

Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra stormed to victory at Eurovision 2022, defeating the UK’s Sam Ryder at the final hurdle.

When the results were being announced, it was revealed that Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Germany, Belgium, France, Georgia, Austria and the Czech Republic had awarded their coveted 12 points to the UK, much to viewers’ surprise.

The UK soared to the top of the scoreboard after the jury votes with 283 points, with Sweden in second place with 258 points and Spain placing third with 231 points before the televote confirmed the winner.

As the hosts and commentator Graham Norton kept reminding viewers (and acts) while results were being announced, the televote had the power to change it all, and indeed it did.

Ukraine received a huge 439 points in the public vote, resulting in them ending the night on 631 points, securing their win.

The UK, who has had five Eurovision winners in the past, last won in 1997, but actually got 0 points last year, and have finished in last place three times.

The voting is divided into two parts – with 50 per cent of each country’s final score decided by jury votes, and the remaining half down to the public vote.

Ranked in order of overall points, the split between televotes and jury votes for each act competing in last night’s grand finale is here:

Ukraine, 631 – 439 televotes and 192 jury votesUnited Kingdom, 466 – 183 televotes and 283 jury votesSpain, 459 – 228 televotes and 231 jury votesSweden, 438 – 180 televotes and 258 jury votesSerbia, 312 – 225 televotes and 87 jury votesItaly, 268 – 110 televotes and 158 jury votesMoldova, 253 – 239 televotes and 14 jury votesGreece, 215 – 57 televotes and 158 jury votesPortugal, 207 – 36 televotes and 171 jury votesNorway, 182 – 146 televotes and 36 jury votesNetherlands, 171 – 42 televotes and 129 jury votesPoland, 151 – 105 televotes and 46 jury votesEstonia, 141 – 98 televotes and 43 jury votesLithuania, 128 – 93 televotes and 35 jury votesAustralia, 125 – 2 televotes and 123 jury votesAzerbaijan, 106 – 3 televotes and 103 jury votesSwitzerland, 78 – 0 televotes and 78 jury votesRomania, 65 – 53 televotes and 12 jury votesBelgium, 64 – 5 televotes and 59 jury votesArmenia, 61 – 21 televotes and 40 jury votesFinland, 38 – 26 televotes and 12 jury votesCzech Republic, 38 – 5 televotes and 33 jury votesIceland, 20 – 10 televotes and 10 jury votesFrance, 17 – 8 televotes and 9 jury votesGermany, 6 – 6 televotes and 0 jury votes

While the televotes boosted Ukraine to the top of the leader board, some countries like Iceland and France had similar effects on both the jury and those watching at home.

Switzerland left little impact on the public voting, but managed to score decently through the jury, whereas Moldova managed to gain immense support from voters at home, despite not ranking as well with the jury.

The results of the televotes being revealed follows the European Broadcasting Union confirming they picked up ‘irregular voting patterns’ during the course of the second set of semi-finals earlier in the week. 

In a statement shared on the Eurovision website, the union said: ‘In the analysis of jury voting by the European Broadcasting Union’s (EBU) pan-European voting partner after the Second Dress Rehearsal of the Second Semi-Final of the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, certain irregular voting patterns were identified in the results of six countries.

‘In order to comply with the Contest’s Voting Instructions, the EBU worked with its voting partner to calculate a substitute aggregated result for each country concerned for both the Second-Semi Final and the Grand Final (calculated based on the results of other countries with similar voting records).

This process was acknowledged by the Independent Voting Monitor.’

It continued: ‘The EBU takes any suspected attempts to manipulate the voting at the Eurovision Song Contest extremely seriously and has the right to remove such votes in accordance with the Official Voting Instructions, irrespective of whether or not such votes are likely to influence the results and/or outcome of the voting.’

The second instalment of the semi-finals took place on Thursday evening and saw 18 countries, including Ireland, San Marino, Malta, Israel, Belgium and Finland.

It has not been revealed which countries had their juries removed.
