There are two ways you can have your say and vote in Eurovision 2016: SBS viewers will be able to rate performances and vote for their favourites across all three nights of prime-time screenings - with early risers also able to cast their votes in the official international poll and ultimately influence the outcome of the vote.
SBS RATE AND VOTE
You don't need to rise in the wee hours to have your say! Tune in to SBS each night at 7:30pm and jump onto SBS Eurovision during these primetime broadcasts to rate performances and decide Australia's Unofficial Favourite!
Watch Eurovision Semi Final 1, Semi Final 2 and Grand Final 7:30pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights on SBS ONE.
Head to sbs.com.au/eurovision on your computer, phone or tablet.
Start rating songs! Click or tap the 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' as many times as you like during the performance.
THE OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL VOTE
Early risers can tune in to the live 5am broadcasts on SBS Australia on Wednesday 11th, Friday 13th and Sunday 15th May and cast their votes in the international tally by telephone, SMS or using the official app and help influence the outcome of the contest.
There is the biggest change to the Eurovision voting system in 40 years.
In previous years the results of the professional juries and viewers have been presented as a combined result, each accounting for 50 percent of the final score. From 2016, the professional juries and televoters from each country will each award a separate set of points from 1 to 8, 10 and 12. This now means the top 10 countries in both the jury and televote will receive points.
As per the official Eurovision rules, viewers in all countries taking part in a particular Semi-Final are invited to vote via the official app, telephone and/or SMS.
