00:30But this claim did not hold up. Finland finished sixth, with Bulgaria taking the crown.

00:43The final result is made up of two separate parts, professional jury votes by each country and public votes.
00:50Viewers can vote for their favorite acts online or by phone for a small fee,

00:58The final result is combined with the jury scores, with the winner being the contestant with the most points.
01:04That's not to say Eurovision's voting system hasn't been free from controversy.
01:08Investigations have recently raised questions about Israeli government-linked campaigns
01:12that encourage the public to vote for Israeli acts.
01:15Several countries also boycotted this year's competition due to Israel's participation.
01:20Eurovision organizers later tightened rules and issued a formal warning to Israeli broadcaster Khan
01:26over promotional videos urging viewers to vote ten times for Israel's act.
01:30Users have a maximum of ten votes.
01:32Finland was widely projected to be a favorite to win in the run-up to the competition,
01:37meaning this post likely aimed to go viral if the Nordic country had indeed won.
01:41While Eurovision continues to face scrutiny, giving way to online speculation over influence campaigns,
01:47there aren't any credible reports of predetermined winners or countries outright buying the contest.
