The Voting System

Decisions at Benidorm Fest 2025 follow a mixed voting system, where 50% of the votes come from a professional jury composed of eight national and international members, while the other 50% comes from the public, split between traditional SMS voting (25%) and free voting through the RTVE Play app (25%).

The free voting system at Benidorm Fest 2025 will account for 25% of the total votes, replacing the previous demoscopic vote. This voting will be available through RTVE Play’s official app, accessible on all app stores, including Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.

Once all eight performances in the final are complete, the festival’s presenters—Ruth Lorenzo, Paula Vázquez, and Inés Hernand—will announce the opening of phone lines, allowing viewers to vote via SMS, calls, or free app voting.

This will be the first live voting of this edition. The combined total of all points will determine which act wins Benidorm Fest 2025 and represents Spain at Eurovision.
