Protocols of voting by the jury and viewers in the final of the contest have appeared on the Web.
The organizers of the national selection for «Eurovision-2022«, the Public Broadcaster has finally released the minutes of voting by the jury and viewers in the final of the contest, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to TSN.
Thus, documents appeared on the official website showing the scores of all members of the jury of the National Selection and the number of votes received by the finalists from the audience.
The first table is a general protocol, which caused technical problems with the table on the screen.
According to the vote of the viewers, users sent 19535 SMS for Alina Pash, for Kalush Orchestra — 31634, and for WELLBOY, which took third place — 5642.
Recall that in the finals of the national selection, the Kalush Orchestra group, which received 6 points from the jury and 8 points from the audience, was puzzled by the confusion during the announcement of the points. Therefore, behind the scenes of the competition, the team made a scandal and accused the Public Broadcaster of falsifying points from the jury and the audience. So, the artists were surprised that at first the chief judge of the competition, Yaroslav Lodygin, rated the WELLBOY number as «for internal use», and then the singer received a high score — 7.
The team demanded to show the result of the vote on paper. However, according to the group, the door was simply slammed in front of their noses. The musicians were convinced that if everything was clean there, they would not hide anything from them.
Kalush also demanded that the representative of the company involved in the counting of votes at the national selection be fired.
