There is a complex voting system where countries are given a set of scores to allocate to the countries that are performing. Each country that performs can award votes to any country except their own. Each country announces their votes one at a time and the country with the most votes at the end wins. There have been variations in exactly how the voting system works since the contest first began in 1956.
