This year once again highlighted the stark contrast that can exist between jury votes and public votes in Eurovision. One of the most shocking moments was when a country that had received strong jury support ended up with zero points from the public. A prime example was the host country, Switzerland. Despite earning an impressive 214 points from the 36 international juries, Switzerland received 0 points in the public vote—a result that left many stunned.
A closer look at the voting mechanics explains part of this discrepancy. With 26 countries in the final, viewers can only assign points to their top 10 favourites. That means 16 countries receive no points at all from each individual vote. Even finishing in 11th place on someone's list earns a country nothing.
This situation is not unique to Switzerland. Host countries often fare poorly in public voting—sometimes dramatically so.
