Error in the results of Eurovision 2019: EBU corrects the Grand Final scoreboard

As previously reported, the Belarusian jury was dismissed after revealing the votes from the first semifinal before crowning the Eurovision Song Contest winner.

In order to comply with Eurovision's voting regulations, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) worked with the voting partner Digame in order to create a substitute aggregated result. This is calculated based on the results of other countries with similar voting records and was approved by voting monitor Ernst & Young, to determine the Belarusian jury votes for the Grand Final.

The European Broadcasting Union can confirm, that due to a human error an incorrect aggregated result was used. This had no impact on the calculation of points derived from televoting across the 41 participating countries and the overall winner and Top 4 songs of the Contest remain unchanged.

The EBU and its partners digame and Ernst & Young stated that they deeply regret that this error was not identified earlier and will review the processes and controls in place to prevent this from happening again.
