According to Melodifestivalen project leader Anders Wistbacka, early voting occurs with Radiohjälp votes in the Melodifestivalen app. Wistbacka stated, "The purpose is to give more people the opportunity to vote for their favorite, including those who cannot follow the broadcast live. " The exact timeline for the early voting period has not been specified.
It remains unclear how many people are expected to use the early voting feature. Specific changes to the voting system based on viewer response have not been detailed. The testing phase represents an effort to modernize the voting process for Sweden's popular Eurovision selection show.
The purpose is to give more people the opportunity to vote for their favorite, including those who cannot follow the broadcast live. We are testing this this year and will take the viewers' response into account in how we will continue to develop the voting.
