Voting Process :
- After all the songs have been performed, the contestants then proceed to cast votes for the other contestants' songs: contestants are not allowed to vote for their own song. In the Sunday results show, the song with the most points is declared the winner.
- The voting system used in the Contest is the same one used in the Eurovision Song Contest; contestants award a set of points from 1 to 8, then 10 and finally 12 to other songs in the competition — with the favourite song being awarded 12 points.
- As well as contestants, the public will be able to cast their votes. A poll will be set up and points awarded to contestants according to their % received.
- Votes will not be revealed in the Semi Final. The top 10 will be announced in a random order, the results will not be known.
