One specific country will be able to use the quota once every five seasons.
Voting changes
The voting in the final consisted of the sum of votes from twenty four participating countries, which in turn gave two sets of points: the first set of points from the curators themselves (the jury), and the second set of points from the IECO observers (TV viewers). Each voter had a set of 10 Eurosystem points: 12, 10, 8, 7-1 points. However, this season, each participating country could itself appoint a voting viewer. An additional slot of points from the rest of the voters was also added.
Allocation draw
The format of the draw for this season has been changed. So along with the random selection of the number of the host country of the season (the United Kingdom, the speakers under #1 and #24 (last number) were determined.
