Overview
- Public voting is halved to a maximum of 10 votes per payment method, reversing the previous cap of 20.
- Professional juries return to the semi‑finals and retain roughly 50–50 weight with the televote, with jurors expanded from five to seven.
- Jurors must sign impartiality declarations, include younger members aged 18–25, and be drawn from a broader range of music professions.
- Broadcasters and artists are barred from engaging with third‑party promotion, including government‑backed campaigns, with sanctions for attempts to sway results.
- The EBU will enhance monitoring to detect coordinated or fraudulent voting, as broadcasters threatening boycotts press for action following reports of Israeli state‑run vote drives.
