Benidorm Fest 2024 Voting Mechanics
The voting system for Benidorm Fest 2024 mirrors previous editions, with 50% of the total weight allocated to a professional jury (both national and international). Beatriz Luengo serves as the jury president and spokesperson for the points awarded to the contestants. Each jury member assigns 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 2 points to the semifinalists, which are then tallied up.
The remainder of the voting process is split evenly between televoting and demoscopic voting, each accounting for 25% of the total score. In the event of a tie, the contestant with the highest score from the professional jury prevails.
