Public voting representatives of participating countries

The viewers of the participating countries could be other members of the organization or other invited persons.
Each public voting member was invited by it's country, however when the participant was not able to do so, the public voting was assigned to each country as per the most possible compatability of points with the Jury Member.

On December 21, a day after the start of voting in the semi-finals, one of the members of the international jury Azam Ali Toor (from Pakistan) refused to vote and resigned his place as a jury member. The reason for this was Israel's participation in the competition. His place was taken by Joeri Groen (from the Netherlands).
