Benidorm Fest 2024 Voting Mechanism
The voting system is similar to previous versions. Again, 50% of the judging is by professional judges (national and international). beatrice luengo will be the head of the jury and spokesperson for the points awarded to songs at Benidorm Fest 2024. Each member of the jury will allocate 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 2 points to the semi-finalists. The points received by each are added to the scoreboard.
The remaining 50% will be divided between 25% each for televoting and demoscopic voting. In case of a tie, the artist/author who receives the highest score from the expert judges will win.
