Toñi states:

« The EBU is considering taking a turn to the voting. They are thinking and talking with the delegations to know how we see it and if we only should have a jury, or only an audience voting. »

The EBU is in discussions with the broadcasters for potential voting changes at the competition, according to Toñi.

However Jon Ola Sand, the Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest announed after the final of the 2019 competition that there are no plans to change the voting system.
