THE JURY VOTE

During the Jury final show on Friday 19 national juries cast their votes. Each jury consisted of three music experts and two children. Each juror had to rank the other 18 entries of the countries his country was competing against. Therefore the total jury vote was made up of a total of 95 individual rankings which leaded to the  overall jury voting scoreboard

Check out on the official Junioreurovision.tv website the whole scoreboard of jury votes with all the votes from each juror of each country!

THE ONLINE VOTING

The EBU made public the total amout of votes that were cast by the public, making it easier to calculate how many votes each comepting country received!

According to what the hosts mentioned during the live show a total  of 3.77 million votes were cast online during the two rounds of public voting. Taking in mind tha  the online voting points are determined by the percentage of online votes received and the fact that   the availiable online voting points are 1.102  an approximately estimation of the online voting scoreboard would roughly look as following:

The closest in points country to Poland that came first with 568.000 points, was Spain which received approx. a total of 356.000 votes , 210.000 votes less then the winner country of Poland. However the resutls show a massive show up of votes for the Polish act which gave her the trophy taking in mind that in the jury vote she came second behind Kazakhstan.
