RTÉ’s request for a detailed breakdown of Eurovision voting revealed inconsistencies, with Israel’s public voting score significantly higher than that of the juries. Concerns from broadcasters in Spain and Belgium regarding potential external influences on voting have emerged, prompting discussions within the EBU about the voting process and promotion practices. The EBU acknowledges the role of social media promotion in artist visibility but aims to regulate it, ensuring fair voting processes that do not skew the outcomes. The subject will be reviewed in a forthcoming annual meeting of the contest's Reference Group.
While the EBU says there is no evidence this affects the final result, it will discuss this rule at the annual Reference Group that takes place after the contest each year.
In an 'open letter' on the Eurovision website, Martin Green, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, said that the EBU would look into promotion of acts.
