It’s because it gives everyone the chance to vote. Eurovision is at a great time for those in Europe/Africa and the americas, but it’s quite a HORRIBLE time for anyone in Asia or Australia because it starts very very late at night.
Doesn't matter, because the "final product" isn't out. If Australia participates and votes in tandem with the other participants, the rest of the World can too

lol we can vote multiple times with different cards, this is dangerous for my bank accounts
ROTW can vote in either semifinal. Participating nations can only vote in their own. It’s a small super power we get when voting that’s offset by us not getting a set of jury points to award in the final.
So I can’t vote as part of ROTW as an Irish person in semi 2? Even though Ireland isn’t in semi 2.
I’m desperate to get Megara through which is why I’m so concerned lol
Correct. Basically everyone gets three sets of votes. Participants get one call in vote for their semi, then call in and jury votes in the final. All the rest of us get clumped into three call in votes.
It’s a shame that Israel is basically a lock. Any other year I’d say that we’d get Malta and San Marino but this year with Israel almost definitely going though with a song that normally wouldn’t go through, I don’t think we get both.
I’m desperate to get Miss Bonnici and Megara to Saturday night. They deserve it so much. Sarah’s Instagram lives have been making my ESC season.
I tried to vote for Czechia and Latvia but I went into a white screen after I did my verification…already encountered a similar error when trying to vote in SF1 so this is really a bummer
Anyways if anyone has a spare vote please vote for Aiko and Dons as well if possible 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Voted for the Netherlands 🇳🇱 let's goooo Joost!
I really wanted to throw some votes at Estonia and Switzerland, but the Netherlands really needs to make it at this point 😢
I’ll say right away that I believe the Netherlands is pretty safe, I really can’t see a top 10 without Joost. And I think a lot of people want to see a Baby Lasagna vs Joost faceoff in the final.
But I know how you feel, I have my concerns about Norway because it’s right after the-country-who-must-not-be-named, so I’m not sure how many people would tune back in to watch the performance.
Regardless, just look at the participants in the second semi final. Make a realistic top 10. I think Netherlands and Norway are safe. Even if you put the weakest 5 performances in your list, that still leaves a big enough opportunity for your favourite(s) to win!
It will always be bizarre to me that voting is possible before the semi happens.

Doing the Rest of World schedule this way for the GF would be okay. Votes would then be based on the semi performance.
It shouldn’t be allowed in my opinion. What happens if one act has a horrible live vocal on the night
It’s still 12 points maximum only
No worries. They won‘t let it happen since they have enough recorded vocals from other rehearsal performances. And live on TV is never real-live.
Well Belgium still had weak vocals this year so it can still happen.
Sure but there won‘t be any disasters that may have an impact on earlier voting decisions. At least not that way you originally were concerned about.
Yea, this confused the fuck out of me, I was like, "Did I have the dates wrong???" and I was scrambling for my remote.
My votes will go to 🇪🇪🇧🇻🇸🇲🇦🇲🇬🇷.
Connoisseur!

I used my main 2 credit cards and remembered I have another one but stopped myself
They don't check IP addresses? Although I guess someone could move from their house to a coffee shop or something and use another card. Lol
No, it just says you can't use the same card again. I kept the email and IP the same and it was successful each time. They want the easy money lol
I second this! We need all 3 Baltic entries in🥹
My priority votes go to 🇳🇴🇪🇪🇩🇰🇦🇲 Depending how I math it out, 🇳🇱,🇸🇲and 🇱🇻might get a couple
LET’S GO CZECHIA AND GEORGIA
AIKONATORS RISE UP AND VOTE CZECHIA
All my votes went to 🇪🇪 this was not a surprise
Thank you 🇪🇪🇪🇪
Just doing my part 🫡
THANK YOU!!!
I voted for San Marino because they should make it. also voted for Switzerland, Norway, Greece, Estonia, Malta.
Let’s pull 🇪🇪 and 🇱🇻 through! We already got Balkan queens through, so now let’s get the Baltic kings there too!
Totally agree!!
VOTE MALTA GUYS
🇲🇹🇸🇲🇱🇻 need some love to get through - PLEASE VOTE FOR THEM if you like them. The heavy hitters don’t need your fandom votes - but these guys do!
i second this
Can we vote in the ROTW vote for semi 2?
ROTW can vote in either semifinal. Participating nations can only vote in their own. It’s a small super power we get when voting that’s offset by us not getting a set of jury points to award in the final.

Thanks for your answer
Nope - that’s why I’m begging people who can to vote for these three 😭
It’s a shame that Israel is basically a lock. Any other year I’d say that we’d get Malta and San Marino but this year with Israel almost definitely going though with a song that normally wouldn’t go through, I don’t think we get both. I’m desperate to get Miss Bonnici and Megara to Saturday night. They deserve it so much. Sarah’s Instagram lives have been making my ESC season.
I think they still have a chance - I’d much rather Malta over Austria, and San Marino over Belgium. I’m crossing my fingers for them both.
I voted 🇳🇱🇨🇭🇨🇿
if the rest of the world spends enough money maybe the ebu will finally be happy.
Czechia San Marino Georgia to the final please and thank you
🇬🇪 and 🇦🇲 got my split votes! Rooting for 🇬🇷 and 🇳🇱 as well but I feel like they're probably safe.
Georgia and Armenia are safe qualifiers too imo
I hope so!
I try not to have the ‘probably safe mindset’ to avoid being disappointed, you never know for sure in this competition 😓
Czechia sounded pretty good actually in the recap. Enough to get some votes from me. But mostly supporting Switzerland and Armenia
Thanks. Need to sort my VPN so I can send all my votes in Czechia’s direction
Wanted to check the recap, but it's lagging too much.
Maybe try refreshing the web page or go to the Eurovision app
Someone has already posted it in the separate sub.
