Latvia's Dons Advance to Eurovision Semi-Finals on May 9
The Eurovision Semifinals, taking place on the 14th of May, are an exciting part of the annual competition. Here's a breakdown of how the voting process works.
Each participating country, excluding Latvia, will be able to vote on the performances of the other participating countries. The voting sequence is not determined beforehand but occurs after the last performance. This means that each country casts their vote in turn, following the conclusion of the performances.
The second Eurovision semifinal will air live at 22:00, and it will feature representatives from several countries including Israel, Ukraine, Armenia, Germany, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Estonia, Austria, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, and many more. Notably, none of these countries are represented by musicians originating from Latvia.
Voting in the Eurovision semifinals commences after the final song is played, and during the semifinals, no voting can occur prior to the final song being played. This ensures fairness and anticipation as viewers watch the performances unfold.
It's important to note that Latvia is not permitted to vote on its own performance in the Eurovision semifinals. The voting process is a key part of the competition, taking place after the performances have concluded.
You can catch the live coverage of the Eurovision Semifinals on LTV1, news service.lv, and REplay.lv. So, get ready to vote and support your favourite acts!
