What Time Does Eurovision Voting End

So, you're all hyped up for Eurovision, right? The glitz, the glam, the drama - it's like the world's biggest karaoke party! But you're dying to know, when does all this fabulousness wrap up?

Well, grab a coffee, let's chat about it.

When Does the Voting End?

Alright, so the voting part of the show is split into two main bits: the jury voting and the public voting. Let's dive in, shall we?

Jury Voting

First up, we've got the jury voting. Each country has a panel of music industry experts who watch the show live and cast their votes. They're not allowed to vote for their own country, obviously - that'd be like letting a parent judge a school play, right?

Now, these juries vote after all the songs have been performed. So, if you're watching at home, you won't see them voting live. They'll announce their scores during the interval act, which is usually around 23:00 CET (Central European Time) for the Grand Final.

Public Voting

Next, we've got the public voting. This is where you, dear reader, get to have your say! You can vote via phone, SMS, or the official Eurovision app. Isn't technology wonderful?

Public voting opens after the last song has been performed and closes 15 minutes later. So, if the last song wraps up at, say, 22:45 CET, voting will close at 22:60 CET. Yes, you read that right - there's no such thing as 22:60, but you get the idea!

Once the voting lines are closed, it's time for the big reveal. The hosts will announce the top three countries from each voting nation, and then we'll find out who's won the whole shebang!

So, When Does It All End?

Alright, let's wrap this up. The whole shebang, from the first note to the last 'douze points', usually takes around 3 hours. So, if the show starts at 21:00 CET, you can expect it to all be over by around 00:00 CET.

But remember, this is Eurovision we're talking about. Anything can happen! A country might decide to perform their song backwards, or a host might accidentally reveal the winner too early. It's all part of the fun!

So there you have it, folks. Now you know when the voting ends, you can plan your night accordingly. Just remember to vote, okay? Your country needs you!
