How to vote
Each of 37 participating countries can vote for the winner.
Fans can cast up to 20 votes for as many acts as they like through call, SMS or Eurovision app.
Every country has a national jury who will give 1 to 12 points to contestants, with 12 going to the most popular song.
The results from jury's decision and the public vote are then combined.
Non-participating countries also get a say and their votes are bundled under one category 'the rest of the world'.
Voting opens just before the first song is performed and stays open until about 40 minutes after the last song finishes.
