We want to change the voting system of the Eurovision Song Contest! Dear Jon Ola Sand, voting at the Eurovision Song Contest is becoming more and more boring with each passing year, in that case we ask you to return back the voting system, when viewers had 100% of votes or make a new system where votes of viewers would have an advantage over the national jury votes (at least 70% of viewers and 30% of jury voting). Besides, we ask you not to use the votes of the jury in the semifinals or return the system, where viewers chose the nine finalists, and the tenth finalist was chosen by the jury. Our demand is also to limit the number of votes for a country to one SMS/phone call from phone number, so every resident of the participating countries could truly affect the voting results.

I have been reading through the messages you leave about how much the current system strips away the excitement of our favorite night of the year. My desk is currently covered in drafts of formal letters to the organizers because I refuse to let them ignore how much we care about fairness in these results.

Seeing this movement gain such momentum reminds me of why I fought for these changes in the first place. It is heartening to see so many fans who feel the same passion for fairness that kept me up at night trying to draft these demands.

its rigged.
total joke. the juries just vote for their politics and ignore the songs the people actually like. get rid of them.
the juries basically decide the winner before the show even starts, whats the point of us voting then? absolute waste of money.
BRING BACK THE TELEVOTING ONLY SYSTEM!! it was way more fun before they ruined it with these boring juries.
so tired of seeing my favorite song lose just because some grumpy jury didn't like the staging. let the people decide what wins.
The contest is so rigged, not even funny
Ban that sh%t

100% agree, the jury don't understand for who to vote for, at all, they just don't want to hurt the "sensitive" people(we know who I'm talking about)
